Workers and union leaders have wiped out the sleeves and flags that have kept the crown from blocking viruses to ease the May Day march but are still bustling, demanding more job protections amid a pandemic that has turned economies and workplaces upside down.
In countries that mark May 1 as International Labor Day, the annual celebration of workers ’rights created a strange sight in the pandemic: a large, crowded crowd, crowded with people clutching their arms behind their backs.
