May Day has not been cancelled! Join us for a live SAK broadcast on Friday 1 May

Our live SAK #virtuaalivappu Facebook broadcast will begin at 13.30 on May Day, and will feature music, speeches and debate in the normal way. You can express your applause to speakers and performers using emojis, or submit your own written greetings to everyone following the broadcast.

The half-hour event will include May Day addresses from SAK President Jarkko Eloranta, Vice-President Matti Huutola, and the President of Service Union United PAM Annika Rönni-Sallinen, who chairs the Delegate Council of SAK. We shall also enjoy uplifting music from the Punatähdet agit-rock band.

Our virtual May Day broadcast will be hosted by Journalisti magazine editor-in-chief Maria Pettersson and leading PR industry influencer Jan Erola. The live broadcast will be filmed at SAK headquarters in Hakaniemi.
