National day of protest organised by Congress (ICTU), 6th November 2009. Irish workers, unemployed and public service users are facing savage attacks on living standards by the Fianna Fail, Green Party and Mary Harney coalition. They want to take 4 billion off public sector workers and services, cut social welfare topay for the bad debts incurred by a failed banking system. The Irish Congress of Trades Unions called a demonstration on November 6th 2009 to demand a fairer and better way. Tens of thousand of workers demonstrated all over Ireland. The question on everyone's lips was 'what do we do next?' For more on ICTU's campaign check out
