Thursday, 31 January 2019 09:57

Public sector workers will take part in a rally in what is being called a 'celebration of services we provide'.

Civil servants, teachers and nurses will march from Howard Davis Park to the Royal Square, amid the ongoing pay dispute with the States.

It will start at 10.30am on Saturday 9th February.

There will be speeches from union officials, and States members are being invited.

Jersey's Civil Service union will enter independent mediation through JACS with the States Employment Board on 14th February.

Teachers have voted to walkout, and nurses are being balloted on strike action.
