For many people this has been the case with the protest rally and march by the Fiji Council of Trade Unions planned for  May 3-4 timed to coincide with the meeting of the ADB's Board of Governors' meeting in Nadi; the application and refusal of permits; uneven support from its own affiliates; the division within SODELPA on whether or not to support the protest; the arrest and subsequent release of  FTUC National Secretary Felix Anthony and other unionists; and, now, the indefinite deferment of the protest in the wake of these happenings.
