Euro-Demo – European trade unions demonstrate in Ljubljana
04/05/2008
Ljubljana: Beautiful weather today as trade unionists from all over Europe came to rally and demonstrate their solidarity. Representatives of 54 trade unions from 54 countries demanded better wages and for EU’s finance ministers to put a stop to wage discrimination. The event culminated in a rock concert and general good-fun attitude.
The organisers claim to have had a crowd of around 30,000, but the figure seems somewhat exaggerated.

Yeah, 30,000 is a bit up there. It was cool nonetheless to see all the people out from so many countries, definitely a good mood was in the air. We were standing next to some Croatian trade unionists eating ice cream and waving to everyone. Kinda wished I had a flag for my union for a little overseas solidarity. 🙂
