No2EU and Construction Workers to demonstrate today at Olympic Site

The report on the planned demonstration may be read from here. Key elements of the protest are as follows:

The convenor of the No2EU – Yes to Democracy euro election platform, RMT general secretary Bob Crow, will join with a thousand construction workers on the gates of the Olympic site in Stratford this Wednesday (6 May) in a mass protest over attacks on pay and working conditions, writes Geoff Martin.

The protest has been called by rank and file construction workers in opposition to a “race to the bottom” on pay and conditions and the exploitation of overseas workers to drive down wages. It will be joined by workers from all the over the country including a contingent from the protests at the Lyndsey oil refinery. Six coach loads are coming down from Northumberland alone. NO2EU are fielding candidates in next month's EU elections who are committed to not taking up their seats in the Strasbourg Parliament as a socialist alternative to a protest vote for the nationalistic and socialist BNP.
