NUJ helps make people's history against government cuts

Hundreds of journalists joined up to half a million other trade unionists, pensioners, families and others on Saturday March 26 on the streets of central London, Belfast and Derry to demonstrate against government cuts to public services.

 

The NUJ had a great turnout on the TUC demonstration but it was only one step in a larger campaign, and there will be a lot to fight for in coming months.

 

Here's a link to a short video produced for the Museum of London by  Goldsmith's art students for their project 'Save our Placards'.
