I've just spent 20 minutes outside Zimbabwean Embassy at the invitiation of the excellent Johninnit.

I watched some very brave people demonstrating in support of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions. I'm sure my presence boosted support sufficiently to over-tip the balance, and bring about real change.

But if it didn't, you can read more here-

"The ZCTU has announced National Actions on the 19th and 20th of September in response to a Presidential decree that has frozen all wages for six months despite having signed the Prices and Incomes Stabilization Protocol on 1st June 2007. ZCTU members will hold 2 nationwide stayaways on these days and have withdrawn from the Tripartite Negotiation Forum until the Presidential powers used to issue the order have been clarified."

That page also includes a very simple-to-do email to the Zimbabwean High commissioner in protest to the salary freeze and the workers rights violations by the Zimbabwean government. Hit the "Click Here To Act Now" button.

Plus a report (with better photos) by John - "Lets All Go Down The Strand"
