Ruth Pitchford and Andrew Trickett – GMB NWI Young Members went over to Burnley, to support the GMB Branch in celebrating International Workers Day. Yearly, a festival is held at Townelley park which invites local crowds to attended.
Andrew and fellow GMB Burnley member Tommy, walked proudly displaying the branch banner alongside sister trade unions and the Labour Party.
Branch Secretary Alan Flatley said ‘It was great to be supported by our regional young members, especially as it’s an important day within the TUC calendar. It’s important that we remember why we have these days and to keep the passion alive’.
A rally was held with speakers from Trade Unions, Oliver Ryan – PPC Labour Candidate for Burnley and Angela Raynor – Deputy Leader of Labour Party.
Solidarity to all workers.
