Thousands of people have gathered in Belfast for the annual 'May Day' rally organised by trade unions
Thousands of people have gathered in Belfast to take part in the annual 'May Day' rally.
Members of trade unions in Northern Ireland marched from Writer's Square to City Hall in a call for better workers rights, pay and conditions. Mick Lynch, the general secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers , spoke at the event."They obviously need to get the institutions back up. People are demanding democracy," Mr Lynch told BBC News NI."So everybody needs to get this society back on the road to democratic politics, accountability and the ability to set your own budgets and dictate how your society is run.
The rally was organised by the Northern Ireland Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and hosted by the Belfast and District Trades Council. Earlier, ICTU Assistant General Secretary Gerry Murphy said it "would act as a rallying cry for better workers rights and collective bargaining structures so that all members can benefit from trade union membership and the power that derives from taking action together"., mostly over a long-running pay dispute.Image caption,
