The March and Rally will assemble in George Square at 11.00am with a march off at 11.30am. It is supported by the Trade Union movement in Scotland and is timed to take place with similar events in both London and Cardiff.

Kate Ramsden, ATUC President said, “The ATUC is delighted to have co-funded this bus with our colleagues in Unite and we would urge as many as possible of our affiliates to get along to this demonstration, to show that we strongly oppose racism and fascism and welcome refugees.”

Gerry added, “There has already been considerable interest from students who are our future trade union members. We need to confirm numbers as quickly as possible.

“This is an important demonstration and it is imperative we have a show of strength to counter the racist policies of this government and the wider European Union and demonstrate solidarity with the displaced peoples of the world.”
