Newham March and Rally

Pics of the rally, Z PCS NEC and Jon Rogers unison NEC speaking to the rally outside the town hall.

Good turnout of just under 200 people marching to Newham town hall to protest against the cuts.

Sir Robin Wales on his way into the cabinet stood there jeering at the protesters and was greeted with chants of don't make tory cuts.

I had to leave early and bumped into Cllr John Gray on my way out and lobbied him to at least abstain unfortunately he said he would vote for the budget and was under some delusions that Robin Wales was a socialist!

Anyway the fight continues.

I thought it was a very impressive mobilisation - and hope that the next time there is a more obviously united trade union presence!
