Some images from "The European Global Fund" Protest earlier on Tuesday morning.

A number of Redundant Workers representing the Dell Redundant Workers Association gathered outside the offices of the EGF this morning Tuesday February 23rd to PROTEST at the fact that our members were being faced with an uncertain future vis a vis the The European Global Fund.
