During the day there will be protests outside employment agencies that profit from casual labour.

The evening will see a protest outside the BUILDING INDUSTRY'S ANNUAL AWARD GALA at a plush five star hotel in Park Lane. Protesters will be there to remind the companies up for awards, including some with convictions for killing their employees, that people are sick of their profits-before-anything-else attitude.

JOIN THE PROTESTS!
