PRO-PALESTINIAN campaigners and trade unionists have joined forces to stage joint events marking May Day this weekend.

Trades union councils have worked with local Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) groups in towns and cities across Britain to stage joint marches and rallies.

In Leeds, the theme of today’s 134th May Day march and rally will be a call for peace in Gaza, where the Palestinian death toll is now more than 34,000.
