BRUSSELS (AP) — Tens of thousands of workers are demonstrating close to European Union headquarters in Brussels to protest against austerity measures that have hurt income and to demand labor-boosting initiatives.

 

Thursday's march was organized by the main trade unions and sought to bolster the defense of social legislation that links automatic pay increases to inflation. The workers also called for measures to back employment.

 

Socialist trade union member Marc Palumbe said that some 40,000 were "demonstrating for higher purchasing power" and better social conditions for employees.
