Unite For Jobs March & Rally

Great march and rally today.

Well done to all Unite members and all who turned out for this historic occasion.

Good to see the Corus members out in force too.

Pity the Scottish coaches didn't make it because of road works on the M6! Yes, emergency road works!

Good to have the comrades from the USW (they were the ones wearing sunglasses in the rain!) with us as well.

Good speeches from Tony Woodley, Derek Simpson, Brendan Barber and the reps from Corus and Vauxhall's!

Lots of press coverage on the web - with the BBC saying 2000 there, Teletext say more than 7000, Birmingham Post saying 5000.

A good day for our union all round. Pity it rained at the rally!
