NORTHERN IRELAND PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS STRIKE OVER PAY AND GRADING INJUSTICE

GMB North West & Irish Region

Today our GMB Northern Ireland public sector members took to the picket lines over an ongoing pay and grading dispute, as well as dignity and respect at work.

Since his tragic murder in 1987, members of Daniel Morgan’s family – notably his brother Alastair – have been campaigning for justice for the last 35 years.
