26 March: Together we can achieve anything
Thousands of Scotland UNISON members descended on London
today from across the country to join hundreds of thousands
in the biggest trade union demonstration in a generation.
Many travelled overnight with trains and buses arriving
in London early to join the march. Banners from across Scotland
were part of a ribbon of green and purple that snaked past
the iconic sights of London to make one simple point - there
is an alternative to cuts and to the smashing of our welfare
state.
See an 'on march' report from the unofficial UNISONActive
blog here.
