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".
