This year the international Labour Day on 1st May was overshadowed by coronavirus. In normal course of things this day is is marked with seminars and processions galore of the labour throughout the length and breadth of the country in which the problems of the labourers are highlighted. The labour class continues to groan under abject poverty, particularly, in the Third world countries. The capitalistic economic system has crushed the poor to the core. Take, Pakistan for example.
