Please see flyer from the link below for the Belfast Rally that has been organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. This will be a joint rally of the civil service unions and the teachers’ unions who are on strike on 26 April. NIPSA will be represented on the platform.

The Belfast rally will be at City Hall and commence at 1pm. I would encourage members who are on picket lines to get there before that and to bring their flags from the picket lines.

NIPSA has organised a separate rally in the Millennium Forum to cover members in the North West. Members should go to the Millennium Forum immediately after they finish on picket lines and refreshments will be available. The room in the Millennium Forum will be available from 10.30am and the rally will start around 11.30am.

I would ask Branch Secretaries to circulate this information to all members and to encourage them to attend/visit the picket lines and to attend a rally.

For those members not in the NICS who wish to visit the picket lines in their area, please contact NIPSA HQ if you need details.
