It is International Workers' Day, with activists around the world taking to the streets to demand higher wages, improved working conditions, and broader labor rights.
In France, unions have called for demonstrations under the slogan “bread, peace and freedom,” connecting everyday worker concerns to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
The day has also sparked a heated debate over whether employees should be permitted to work on one of the country’s most protected public holidays.
