Some 500 miners, steel workers and medical rescuers are demanding the Polish government take action against the economic crisis and guarantee their jobs.
The protesters have been marching through Warsaw while blowing whistles, burning tires and chanting "Thieves, Thieves" in front of the ministries of health and economy.
Leaders of various trade groups say Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government must take measures to prevent massive layoffs that unionists fear could result from the financial crisis.
Poland has been spared so far from dramatic job cuts, but work stoppages are taking place and unemployment climbed to 10.9 percent in February.
