TUC - A Future That Works

Tens of thousands of people from across the UK will be coming to London this weekend to take part in A Future That Works - the march and rally organised by the TUC to protest against the government's austerity policies and to call for an alternative economic strategy that puts jobs, growth and people first.

A Future That Works takes place in the capital on Saturday 20 October and follows on from the hugely successful March for the Alternative organised by the TUC last spring.

A particular focus of this year's march will be trying to secure a better future for the UK's young people, one million of whom are currently without work. The TUC hopes that young people from across the country will make up a significant proportion of the marchers.

Marchers will begin to assemble on the Victoria Embankment on the north bank of the Thames from 11am, between the Hungerford Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge.
Hundreds of coaches have been booked to transport people to London from Truro to Newcastle and unions have chartered special trains to bring people to the capital from all parts of England and Wales.
