Public service unions march at Toronto G20 Summit‏

Members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU/NUPGE), led by NUPGE President James Clancy, wearing unmistakable green shirts calling for a Robin Hood tax on financial institutions, made their presence felt at a major march and rally by trade unions and other progressive groups on Saturday at the G20 summit in Toronto.

"Small change for the banks - big difference for the world," read the brightly coloured t-shirts worn by the large contingent from OPSEU. The t-shirts also advertised the web address citizens can visit to add their support to the global campaign to place a tax on financial transactions.
