Organisers say the theme for this year's march is fighting the cost of living increases - by joining a trade union.

Leeds TUC President Jane Aitchison said “Trade unions brought us bank holidays and the eight hour day - now more than ever we need our trade unions to bring us a decent pay rise. We will be marching and will have great speakers including Richard Burgon MP and Sarah Wooley General Secretary of BFAWU.

"We will also be asking everyone in Leeds to join a union - members of a trade union are paid more and treated far better at work.”

The March starts at 12 noon setting off from the art gallery steps.
