Quito, Ecuador was the scene of two May Day marches to mark International Workers' Day. The backdrop for one of the mobilizations was the Citizen Revolution headed by President Rafael Correa, under which major gains have been achieved for the Ecuadoran masses. Marchers emphasized what has been achieved under the Correa administration. In another march, opposition labor unions called on the government to rectify policies that they say have negatively affected workers' purchasing power. Liz Scherffius reports from Quito. teleSUR
