JERSEY FAIR PAY MARCH 9 February 2019

Jersey Public Sector employees and supporters marched into St Helier on Saturday and assembled in the Royal Square to protest against their working conditions and pay.

This is the same place that protestors assembled in September 1769 to which action this site is dedicated.
Then as now the protests were overseen by the same gilded statue of King George II.

Below is an interview with Andy Woolley, the Regional Secretary of the NEU
or National Education Union.
He was one of several TU leaders who also addressed the assembled marchers;


Sadie Rennard of St Saviour was the only Constable spotted and was briefly interviewed ;


Senator Kristina Moore was one of a number of elected States Members who addressed the marchers in the Square and was interviewed ;


Deputy John Young the Minister for the Environment also addressed the marchers in the Square and this is an extract together with some images of the crowd;
