Efling members turned out in large numbers for the May Day march on International Workers’ Day, 1 May. It is fair to say that the union’s banners were held high and were a prominent sight in downtown Reykjavík that day, serving as a reminder that it is the work of Efling members that creates the wealth of Icelandic society. There was a strong spirit of solidarity and determination among Efling members, who demanded the respect and working conditions they rightfully deserve.


Later in the day, Efling hosted a splendid family celebration at the Whales of Iceland museum. Efling members of all ages gathered there with their families to enjoy excellent entertainment and a variety of refreshments.


Attached are photographs taken by Birgir Ísleifur Gunnarsson on International Workers’ Day, 1 May 2026.
