European unions stage day of action over spending cuts


(CNN) -- Unions planned a day of demonstrations across Europe on Wednesday to express anger at austerity measures being adopted around the continent and to demand plans for more jobs and growth.
The day of action was being organized by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), which includes trade unions from 36 European countries and says it has a total of 60 million members.
"Cutting in a recession is crazy, and we must fight it," said John Monks, ETUC's general secretary.
Monks said he expected 100,000 people to turn out for a demonstration Wednesday in Brussels, Belgium.
