Nov9: An early morning start, at 7am. Rank-and-file electricians involved in a pay dispute ("sparks"), students, and their supporters took the streets outside the Pinnacle building site in the City before marching to the Cannon St construction site. They refused to be stopped by police and pushed through police lines to reach their destination, then leaving there just after 9am onto their stated tour of the construction industry in the area including a visit to the Occupied London camp at St Paul's. Earlier speakers urged people to join the students in marching later in the day. They then rallied at the Shard construction site, blackfriars, before being kettled by police when they tried to reach the student demonstration - which they did in the end.
