News1st met some workers in Borella who will be losing their jobs on May Day

.Fifty three (53) year old O.V. Wijepala who is doing his job on a road near the Welikada Prison will not be able to do his job on May Day because of a procession organised to exhibit political power.

The man who is crushing Kottan to overcome economic stress is being crushed by officers of the state this May Day.

While those suffering in hunger are calling on the working class to rise up this May Day, people like Wijeyapala have been forced to stay hungry, as they have been deprived of their livelihoods this Labour Day.
