International Workers Day

Post by borders »

i would like to wish every like minded postie , best wishes on International Workers Day.

To mark International Workers Day, trade unionists and political activists across the country will take to the streets.

Marches and rallies will take place the length and breadth of the country including Bradford, Chelmsford, Coventry, Hull, Liverpool and Nottingham. Wolverhampton TUC will stage a free festival and there will be two major demonstrations in London.

The first event, the annual labour day march and rally, will begin at Clerkenwell Green at 12pm and arrive at Trafalgar Square at 1pm. Speakers at the event will include Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone.

There will also be a separate carnival parade, involving a number of the groups which participated in the G20 protests last April. The parade will set off from several points around London and converge on Parliament Square at 2.30pm.

Wouldn’t smile myself as i know a few Greeks in Athens and this stuff hits them hard and the only winners this time around will be the rich and bankers but the Greeks have pride and will overcome and the cabals that own us all will pay, they lead the way. If you want to show solidarity a demo is on
Wednesday, May 5, 2010 1:00pm - 2:00pm at the Greek Embassy, 1A Holland Park London W11 3TP. Although dont expect our Union leaders to be there!
