Colleagues rally to support suspended Unite rep
Bryan Kennedy punished after leading One Housing Group workers in pay rise action

Colleagues of a “tireless” trade union rep suspended by a London housing company protested outside bosses’s offices yesterday to stop him being sacked.

Unite rep Bryan Kennedy was suspended in February after leading low-paid One Housing Group workers in a campaign to win their first pay rise in six years.

Company bosses claim that his suspension is based on “quite serious allegations of breaching company policy.”
