Thousands to march in protest of public sector cuts
Thousands of state workers will be marching through the streets of Jersey today, in protest of government plans to cut jobs and freeze pay.
As part of the Medium Term Financial Plan the Council of Ministers plans to save £70 million by cutting wages.
Additionally, there will be a freeze on public sector wages for the next few years, excluding nurses and midwives.
Around 2,000 people are expected to turn out on the streets of St Helier for the march.
