MINISTER of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Olivia Grange is encouraging Jamaicans to use Labour Day to “clean up and fix up” their home environments and heighten preparations for the upcoming hurricane season.

This year's Labour Day will be observed on Monday, May 25 under the theme 'Labour at Home'.

Minister Grange said that the theme is relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social distancing measures implemented by the Government to contain the disease.

“In other words, this Labour Day, we want you to stay at home and to work at home, to make it a day when the family will do some productive things at home to observe the day,” she added.

Labour Day is organised by the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport in collaboration with the ministries of labour and social security, and local government and community development.
