Although gatherings and marches across Europe have been cancelled due to measures against pandemic, thousands of Greeks gathered before the Parliament for International Workers' Day. But this May 1st finds the world with a record number of unemployed people. Over 30 million unemployed people have registered in the US alone.
Every May 1st, millions of citizens around the world usually participate in marches and protests to mark the International Workers ' Day, but this year, this day is without workers because of restrictions imposed on controlling the spread of the coronary. This May 1 also finds the world with a record number of unemployed people.
Globally, according to the World Labor Organization, it reported that at least 1.6 billion people working in black have not been paid. In the United States alone, authorities have announced that since the beginning of the pandemic, over 30 million citizens have lost their jobs.
The coronary pandemic has brought a global economy to a decline. Clearly, we have entered the recession, which will be worse than the one in 2009 following the global financial crisis”, International Monetary Fund chief Kristalina Georgieva said.
Gatherings and marches across Europe have been cancelled due to measures against pandemics. Unions are urging supporters to adorn their homes and balconies with flags or use social media to support the workers.
Despite that, thousands of Greeks, respecting physical distance, gathered in front of parliament.
On International Workers' Day, the low-cost Irish carrier Ryanair warned that it could cut up to 3 000 jobs, as global efforts to curb the coronary pandemic continue to have a serious impact on airlines.
Ryanair announced that he plans talks with trade unions regarding a restructuring programme to begin in July.
Otherwise, authorities have tried to present the situation in China, although the country marked a strong economic downturn in the first quarter of the year, on May 1st they allowed citizens to visit some of the main tourist attractions, such as the Forbidden City or the Great Wall.
