PROTESTERS CHANTING SLOGANSLIMA, PERU - MAY 1: Hundreds of people took to the streets of Lima, Peru on Thursday, May 1, to mark International Workers' Day with a large-scale protest against proposed labor reforms. Organized by the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP), the demonstration denounced the government's reform plans, which the union says threaten key labor rights, including job security and collective bargaining. May 1, observed globally as International Workers’ Day or Labor Day, commemorates the historic struggle for workers' rights, including the eight-hour workday. The date traces its origins to the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago, where labor protests turned violent.
