Our first info picket from 1-2 pm went well. Workers received messages of solidarity from workers across Belfast’s piercing industry. Neighbouring shops took fliers to distribute. The solidarity from passers by was amazing. The employer put up a notice claiming they are committed to “open communication” if this is true we are here and waiting on them to sit down with us and negotiate a resolution to this dispute. So far this has been refused – on Wednesday 25th two workers were pulled into a meeting to be told recognition and negotiation were off the table.

Solidarity is strength and United these workers WILL WIN!
