Workers at the Lakewood Regional Secure Care Centre in Bangor, Northern Ireland, called a rally in support of their strike on Tuesday 24 July.

NIPSA members employed by the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust as Night Shift Supervisors have been on all out strike since 18 June 2012 over a dispute in relation to an unacceptable change to their shift rota.

In recent days the Trust has signalled that they are not prepared to negotiate further to resolve this dispute.

Geraldine Mullan, NIPSA Branch Chairperson said, “Our members are determined to ensure their terms and conditions are protected. It is great to see the support of fellow workers, trade unionists and trades councils for our members.”
