March and rally by Unemployed Action Centre to Robson Square

Some eighty-seven people, including trade unionists, community activists, tenants' rights activists and representatives of faith organizations, occupied the provincial cabinet offices in Vancouver for twenty-seven hours to take the demand raised throughout the province for withdrawal of the twenty-six pieces of legislation directly to the government. They emerged to a tumultuous welcome from more than 2,000 people who had been staging a demonstration against staff and service cutbacks at the Ministry of Human Resources several blocks away.
