BRITISH public-sector workers received solidarity from across Europe at their Trafalgar Square rally yesterday, alongside a rallying cry to build a continent-wide “resistance to the international corporate class.”

European Federation of Public Service Unions general secretary Jan Willem Goudriaan brought solidarity greetings from Greece and Portugal, where workers have also withdrawn their labour in the past few days.

“We are standing up and fighting back,” he said. “And we will not let them divide us, or tell us that migrants are the problem. We stand up to the racists and xenophobes in the European Parliament.”

And left Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn said British workers could learn from resistance to austerity across the globe. 

“Austerity is being imposed on you just as it was on Africa and Latin America in the 1980s and 90s,” he fumed.

“This is an attempt to politically re-engineer the whole of Europe.”
