ETUC Demo a resounding success‏

“This day is a resounding success for European workers and a clear signal to the leaders of Europe: you can no longer merely listen to the market, you can no longer ignore the anger and concern of the workers said ETUC General Secretary John Monks as over 100,000 trade unionists assembled in Brussels in a mass protest at austerity measures being implemented across Europe. http://www.etuc.org/a/7700  Gerry Cowell, a UNISON young member from Eastern region, told the Morning Star "It is important for us all to unite to oppose cuts wherever and to make our protest locally, nationally and across Europe." http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/news/content/view/full/95860
