CALLING FOR WALES/WELSH SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY WITH ALL SPANISH WORKERS IN THEIR GENERAL STRIKE ON THE 29 SEPTEMBER 2010.


Some may be lucky and be able to go out to Spain to join in various Strike Actions, Protests and Demonstrations, if so why not make and take 1831 Red Flags and 'Trech Gwlad Nag Arglwydd' and 'Bara Neu Waed' Banners. If not going how about some one/group organising a Solidarity Rally at the Welsh Spanish Civil War Memorial in Cathays Park, think on it fast as there's not much time left to organise inc finding speakers and preparing Placards and Posters. Any idea on where to march to, if such wanted or other wise any event just in Cathays Park will go unnoticed not much use then, if we wish to encourage Welsh Workers to look to Spain as an example for a possible General Strike in Wales?
