O
ver forty RMT members
and their families
attended Holyhead No.1
branch awards night last
month.
As well as RMT regional
organiser Daren Ireland
presenting 10 and 25-year
badges for RMT members
working for Stena Line,
Network Rail, Transport for
Wales, and Avanti West
Coast, RMT President Alex
Gordon presented a 40-year
award to RMT stalwart, Dave
Griffiths (former TfW Guards
Company Council
Representative) and a 50-year
badge and medal to Jack
Jones.
Jack retired last year as
Holyhead No.1 branch
secretary after a career that
began in Holyhead Marine
Yard before he became a
Signaller and trade union
panel member at
Employment Tribunals. Jack
was elected a member of
RMT’s Executive (2006-8) and
was an RMT Tutor for over 15
years.
Holyhead No.1 branch
secretary Steve Conway
presented Jack with an
inscribed pocket watch on
behalf of branch members.
On behalf of the whole union
Alex Gordon thanked Jack
and his wife Pat for a lifetime
of service to members and
wished them a long and
happy retirement together.
HOLYHEAD WISHES JACK A
HAPPY RETIREMENT
