Mass anti-government march in Poland against reform

Up to 100,000 people took part on the 14 September 2013 in the final stage of a four-day series of protests in Warsaw led by an alliance of three trade union associations.

The original reason for the protests had been prospective reforms to the labour code, but it became a wider protest against the government of Donald Tusk and a range of labour market reforms.
