📣🚩📣🚩📣🚩📣🚩📣🚩
Today, I was proud to stand in solidarity with our public sector workers during the largest public sector work stoppage in two decades.

I had the opportunity to visit some of our local schools to show my support for teachers and SNAs, who are working tirelessly in increasingly underfunded and under-resourced schools, often caring for our most vulnerable children.

While my visits today were to schools, my support extends to ALL public servants, including our nurses, healthcare workers and everyone delivering vital public services.

At a time when the cost of living is soaring, these hardworking people deserve fair pay, proper resources, respect and the ability to afford a decent home.

Our public servants deserve more than lip service from Government. They deserve action!

Well done to you all.
