Local trade unions representatives made speeches. The rally featured nine speakers in total including representatives of the CWU, Unison, Aslef, PCS, UCAT, the NUT and Notts Uncut.

A number of protesters then interupted Sir Alan Meale, the Labour MP for Mansfield, from speaking.

Anarchist Federatio and May Day

Comment Published: May 11, 2012 21:10 by Claire

Dear all,

In case you want to read them, the Anarchist Federation locally has published two articles on its blog in relation to this year's May Day and the intervention against Sir Alan Meale. One is about us and one is about the day itself: http://nottsblackarrow.wordpress.com.

Yours

Claire
