GMB North West and Irish Region Connect Magazine May 2017

APPLICATION FORM MAY DAY MARCH The North West & Irish Region Gas Branch 173 based in Liverpool, represent all gas workers across the North West and have approximately two thousand members. Every year, for many years, they send a delegation of approximately eight stewards to Belfast to take part in a mass rally attended by many different unions. They march through the streets of Belfast highlighting the working man/woman and it is one day were all other issues in Belfast are forgotten, as they come together to unite for the Union movement. It usually attracts about two thousand marchers and they all link up with our counterparts of the GMB in Northern Ireland. It is a fantastic way to show solidarity and strength with Unity together. ‘’We see it as a reminder of why we do our role and become invigorated to come back and face any challenges’’ says John Daly of the GMB. "the GMB May Day Committee are always looking for GMB members to assist and take part in fund raising activities. If any GMB members are interested in getting involved, please contact the GMB Holywood Office who will pass on your details to GMB May Day Committee Chair Bob Gun".
