EU's day of action
Today millions of trade unionists across Europe
are responding to the European TUC's call for a day of action against
the austerity policies which are destroying public services and jobs,
and blighting the lives of ordinary people. The suffering we see in Greece is the most extreme example of the devastation wreaked by these policies (Greece hit by new delay over bailout, 10 November).
As a result there will be general strikes in Portugal, Greece, Italy and Spain,
demanding alternative policies and an end to the onslaught which is
destroying Europe's welfare states. In other countries, including
Britain, there will be solidarity demonstrations showing the depth of
public opposition (5pm outside the EU office in London), in support of the struggles across Europe and in defence of our own welfare state.
