May Day - stories from around the world

1 May is traditionally the day for workers' demonstrations around the world. This year, history was made in Turkey when the four main trade union confederations joined together to march to Taksim Square ? scene of brutal repression in the past - for the first time in decades. Demonstrations were stronger in Iraq and Palestine this year, too. But in countries like Iran and Swaziland, repression continued ? leading in one case to a death in police custody. But no amount of repression will prevent workers around the world from demonstrating, and nothing will break the bonds of solidarity that unite the workers of the world.
