CANADA the 1st October
Hi Frank,
As the Canada retiree-members rep for our provincial union I've generated support for Oct 1st actions in defiance of right wing cuts to the very public services our members deliver and which our members who are older persons rely on.
I'll take photos.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF STRUGGLE FOR THE RIGHTS OF PENSIONIST AND RETIRED PEOPLE (P&Rs)
October 1 was established by the UN as the International Day of Seniors, or also day of the Elderly. Since the creation of the International Union of Trade Unions (TUI) of Pensioners and Retirees of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), this date has become a global day of struggle against exploitation, for the requirement of a decent life based on the wealth that the working class produces every day with their work.
