TUC March For The Alternative

EDM number 1694 in 2010-12, proposed by Ian Lavery on 31/03/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Industrial relations.

That this House congratulates Brendan Barber and the TUC for their role in organising the momentous March for the Alternative on Saturday 26 March attended by 500,000 people from all walks of life, all ages, and all races from all over the UK; believes this march will go down in the history of the trade union movement as the day the people said no to the unnecessary ideological spending cuts; recognises that these spending cuts will hit the poorest and most vulnerable the hardest and will destroy the crucial services that communities depend on; and calls on the Government to start listening to the people of Britain and to recognise that there is an alternative.

This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs.
