Workers, activists and others across Europe and Asia are marking May Day with rallies and marches to call for better working conditions and greater labor rights. Police in Istanbul used tear gas and fired rubber bullets on Wednesday to disperse thousands of people who were attempting to break through a barricade and reach the city’s main Taksim square in defiance of a government ban. May Day protests were also ongoing in Athens, Paris and in cities throughout Asia. Nationwide strikes in Greece were led by the country’s largest union. In Seoul, the South Korean capital, thousands of protesters sang, waved flags and shouted pro-labor slogans.
