I know we have some forum members who are interested in workers rights etc so here's an interesting link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg9ZTk0t ... e=youtu.be

Although the media can spend four days reporting on the Jubilee they haven't even mentioned the Spanish miners' strike and the forceful response of the authorities in dealing with it (bit like our own miners' strike 30 years ago)

Looks like the police are using RPGs but maybe I'm wrong
