Protests Called in the U.S. for May Day Against Trump Policies
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Activists worldwide will participate in May Day demonstrations on Friday, demanding peace, higher wages, and better working conditions, as many face rising energy costs and reduced purchasing power tied to the conflict with Iran. May Day is a public holiday in many countries, and protests—some of which have turned violent in the past—are expected in major cities across the globe. 'Workers refuse to bear the cost of Donald Trump's war in the Middle East,' said the European Trade Union Confederation, representing 93 labor organizations across 41 European nations. 'Today's demonstrations show that workers will not stand idly by as their jobs and living standards are destroyed.' In the United States, activists opposing Trump’s policies are organizing marches and boycotts.
