Trade unionist awaits sacking appeal

A VETERAN trade unionist who was sacked from his post will hear the result of his appeal in London tomorrow.

Mick O’Reilly, 56, has been fighting for the last two-and-a-half years to be reinstated as regional secretary of the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union (ATGWU).

“I haven’t had wages for the last 12 months. The union officers have collected for me,” Mr O’Reilly said.
