LIVE: Parisians ​demonstrate on International Workers’ Day

Members of France’s major trade unions march in Paris on Saturday, May 1, on International Worker’s Day (May Day). Alongside pensioners, students, and other Parisians, they are protesting government policies on social rights, job cuts, civil liberties, and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each year May Day is marked in France by large demonstrations of workers and labour activists backed by trade unions such as the General Confederation of Labour (CGT), theUnitary Trade Union Federation (FSU), and the Union Syndicale Solidaires (SUD), who organise marches to campaign for improved working conditions and for other social issues. #Paris #LabourDay #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay #France
