Various rallies were organized
across Europe by trade unions and workers to celebrate
International Labor Day and the economic and social achievements
of workers and fight for laborers rights.
The Metal Workers' Union of the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina held a May Day protest walk in Sarajevo. The workers
gathered in front of the House of Trade Unions and walked to the
building of the Government. In Warsaw, the May 1 demonstration
was sponsored by the All-Poland Alliance of Trade Unions and
Left Together. Workers and trade unionist were together,
carrying Macedonian flags and banners, during a march in Skopje.
A general strike is under way in Greece; a demonstration was
organized in Athens, with slogans in support of Palestine. For
the past few years, instead of protesting, Croatian workers and
trade unions have been celebrating Labor Day with walks and free
servings of bean soups in Maksimir Park in Zagreb.
