Works in Belfast City Council Community Services Unit.  Branch Rep, Equality Officer, Chair of NIPSA’s Equality Committee, Member of Public Officers’ Executive Committee and Local Government Panel.  NIPSA activist working on issues that matter to NIPSA members, our families and our communities – jobs, pay, pensions, welfare and quality public services.

Dianne Waddell (Department for Employment and Learning) EO2

Candidates Election Addresses - Part 1

Maria Morgan (Department for Social Development) EO2

As past President and current General Council member I continue to campaign to defend against attacks on workers and cuts to services and the Welfare State. Members need a strong voice and a campaigning union to protect jobs and services. Support all Broad Left candidates.

Pat Lawlor (Belfast HSC Trust) Staff Nurse

As a Staff Nurse and a member of the Socialist Party, I believe that only a sustained campaign of industrial action and the development of a new political party representing all working class communities, can defeat the Assembly Executive's public cuts that are yet to come.

Tiarnán Millar (Department for Employment and Learning) EO2

I am a member of the Socialist Party and Vice-Chair of NIPSA Youth. NIPSA needs a strong youth voice now and in the future. If elected to General Council I will be a voice for young members and all workers. 

Newry Trades Union Council AGM

The Annual General Meeting of Newry and District Trades Union Council will be held at 7.30 pm on Tuesday, 15 January 2013 in the Ballybot House, Cornmarket, Newry.

Speakers will include NIPSA Broad Left candidate Maria Morgan who will speak about the impact of so-called Welfare Reform proposals. Maria has been one of the key figures in both NIPSA's and NIC-ICTU's opposition to the cuts, with particular regards to Welfare Reform.

NIPSA branches in the Newry and Mourne Council areas should make a special effort to attend this meeting and it is essential, in this period of austerity and attacks on working class people that trades councils receive the full support of all trade unions.

Protest Against Abolition of the NI Housing Executive

PROTEST AGAINST MINISTER McCAUSLAND’s ANNOUNCEMENT TO ABOLISH THE NIHE

Following the announcement  by the Minister on the abolition of the NIHE and the establishment of a New Regional Body and a separate landlord function, a series of protests will be held outside local NIHE offices at 12.30 p.m. on Tuesday 15^th January 2013.

There will also be a protest against this announcement outside the Minister’s Office at the Lighthouse Building, Gasworks Site, 1 Cromac Place, Ormeau Road, Belfast at 12.30 p.m. on Tuesday 15^th January 2013.

Please make every effort to attend one of the above protests and ensure there is a resounding message to the Minister and other political representatives that NIPSA will fight to protect our members and the retention of the NIHE.

 

NIPSA Broad Left is opposed to the Privatisation of Public Services and an increased burden on these most in need for Private Profit and would encourage as many members as possible to attend the protests.
