WORKING-CLASS people in Britain and across the world demanded an end to the misery and instability of capitalism today as the labour movement marked International Workers’ Day 2023.

May Day marches and rallies were held in Sheffield, London, Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Pakistan, Nigeria and elsewhere as workers remembered the struggles of the past and urged a fightback against corporate profiteering, neocolonialism and a resurgent far right.

In Chesterfield, Derbyshire, GMB president Barbara Plant praised the workers  at Amazon in Coventry who are striking for recognition and better pay from the transnational online retail giant.
