NUJ Belfast & District branch flags will be there. It is important that we all stand in solidarity with our ethnic minority communities at this very difficult time. The trade union movement has always supported respect for all workers, human rights, diversity and equality.
I suppose all working people and their families at this difficult time.
It was great to be with our godson Paul to celebrate his 22 nd birthday last night. 🎂 🎉🥳
