Thousands of construction workers marched in Lausanne yesterday, demanding more pay and better working conditions.
The march was far bigger than the one in Geneva on Monday – unions say 7,000 took to the streets.

The march passed through the Place de la Navigation in Ouchy and to the Place de la Riponne.
