Social justice meeting in Guildhall this Thursday

A public meeting on rights and social justice is scheduled to take place in Derry’s Guildhall this Thursday.

The meeting, which is organised by the Derry Trades Union Council (DTUC) in partnership with Derry City & Strabane District Council, will take place from 5.30pm–7pm.

Encouraging the public to attend, Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Michaela Boyle, said this public information session will assist in developing a week long programme on Labour Rights & Social Justice Week which is scheduled to place from Monday 27th April until Saturday 2nd May, and also include the Trade Union’s International Workers Day Rally.

She said the event was an important one for workers and employers to attend and would be beneficial to everyone who has an interest in social justice and workers’ rights.

The Workers’ Rights and Social Justice Week scheduled for the spring of this year will have a duel theme of both celebration and education, associated and linked to the Trade Union Movement both locally and internationally, with community involvement and participation a key purpose and ethos.

It will also bring historical ‘stories to light’ based on the council’s collections and archives.
