Some info here

On November 14th there will be general strikes in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Cyprus and Malta. These strikes are a response to the unprecedented attacks on working people that are taking place across the continent.
The ETUC [European Trade Union Confederation] is calling for solidarity action, including ‘strikes, demonstrations, rallies and other actions in support. Solidarity actions are being taken in Germany, France, Belgium and Scandinavia

Here in Britain there will be a series of protests and rallies – see below. If you are organising one in your area please email coalitionofresistance@mail.com so we can add it to the list.

In London the Coalition of Resistance with others is organising a solidarity demonstration assembling outside the European Commission, which will be followed by a rally where we will be showing footage of the strikes and protests on the day at the Emmanuel Centre, Marsham St. UNITE, PCS, Greek Solidarity Campaign and PIIGS are involved – and the TUC have tweeted support....
