In France, union leaders condemned the “Trumpisation” of world politics.

In Italy, protesters paraded a puppet of the American president through the streets of Turin.

And in Germany, unionists warned that extended workdays and anti-immigrant rhetoric were eroding hard-won labour protections.

The holiday, also known as International Workers’ Day or Labour Day, honours the struggles and achievements of workers and the labour movement.
