Belfast - support sacked Subway worker

FW: Belfast & District Trades Union Council

Your practical support is urgently needed. The protest and petition are having a great effect on the employer and we need to keep the pressure on. We have been informed that similar protests beginning to occur at other locations.

Unfortunately numbers were slightly down on the protest last week. It is vital that we do not give the employer comfort that we will just give up. Please attend the demo at Subway, 6-8 Great Victoria Street, Belfast, 12.30 – 1.30 pm Friday 5th December.

Despite provocation our protests have been dignified, responsible and reasonable. We will continue to politely explain to potential customers of Subway the reason for the protest and encourage them to participate in our campaign.

Subway Sack Young Pregnant Migrant Worker

Natalia Szymanska, a 19 year old Polish woman was sacked from Subway in her fifth month of pregnancy on a dubious charge of being in breach of the company’s health and safety policy.

We call on Subway to:-

· immediately reinstate the pregnant worker,

· reimburse her for loss of earnings,

· compensate her for the injury to feeling,

· treat all workers fairly.

You can make a difference.
