Thousands of trade union members and activists mark May Day by marching through Asia's capitals and demand better working conditions and expanded labor rights.
Thousands of workers march towards the Presidential Palace in Manila to pay tribute to workers in celebration of International Labor Day Wednesday, May 1, 2019 in the Philippines. The workers scored President Rodrigo Duterte allegedly for reneging in his campaign promise three years ago to end temporary hiring known as "contractualization" or "ENDO ".
Many of the plans agreed between the Koreas, including joint economic projects, have been held back by a lack of progress in nuclear negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang. French authorities announced tight security measures for May Day demonstrations, with the interior minister saying there was a risk that “radical activists” could join anti-government yellow vest protesters and union workers in the streets of Paris and across the country. More than 7,400 police will be deployed, aided by drones to give them an overview of the protests and a quicker way to head off potential violence.
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which organized the protests, said more than 25,000 demonstrators turned out for Wednesday’s marches in Seoul, which proceeded peacefully with no immediate reports of injuries or major clashes. Police didn’t immediately provide a crowd estimate. May Day rallies were also held in other major cities, including Busan, Gwangju and Daejeon.
