Hundreds Of Public Sector Workers Turn Out For Rally

Thanks to Jim Moody for sending through photos from yesterday’s march and rally by striking public sector workers.

March from St Mary'sHundreds of workers attended the march which set off from the St Mary’s Hospital picket line in the morning.

Labour councillor Geoff Lumley, who took part in the strike and march said, “I give full and unconditional support for those taking strike action. This ConDem government is attacking the terms and conditions of ordinary workers who deliver our public services, in order to finance the reckless behaviour of the bankers.”

“Attacks are not fair”
He went on to day, “People understand that these attacks are not fair. I oppose all cuts to jobs, conditions and services and will always stand alongside those who seek to defend them.”

Around 750 people took part in the rally with many more on strike across the Island.
