International Day of Action against job loss at Alcatel-Lucent
On November 10, the European Unions that represent workers all over Europe called for an international day of demonstrations against Alcatel-Lucent. Out-sourcing and the loss of jobs is the key issue there, just as it is here.
Below is a link to a video of an action in France, one of three demonstrations there. There were demonstrations in Romania, Germany, and Slovenia. Picture from Germany:
