TUC March and Rally Manchester - #No2Austerity @4OctDemo

This picture is of UNISON members from London Ambulance Service (LAS) carrying our regional banner at the TUC demo today at Manchester.

Second from left is UNISON Vice President, Eric Roberts, who is the branch secretary of LAS.

This was a great day with an estimated 80,000 trade unionists (and many with their families) from all over the UK taking part in a rally and march against Austerity and the fascistic Anti-Trade Union bill.

The Conservative Party are holding their annual conference at Manchester and it is important to let them know that their extremist right wing agenda is dividing and destroying our country.
