The day is set aside by organised labour to celebrate workers as well as highlight their challenges.

This year's celebration is under the theme: “Ghana @ 60: Mobilising Ghana’s Future through the creation of Decent Jobs.’’

In a tweet Monday morning, the former president said: It's workers day. I join my fellow countrymen and women to salute you all, gallant Ghanaian workers.

This year's May Day will be marked at the Independent Square where President Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to address the workers.

Meanwhile, a coalition of newly recruited teachers who have not been paid for months has said they will boycott the celebration.
