Support for an employee who's rights were denied in Morrisons, Holyhead

Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg held a picket at the Morrisons store on Saturday May 9th, to call for a right to work through the medium of the Welsh language. Ieuan Wyn Jones, AM for Anglesey, has also given his support to Mr David Evans, a former employee of Morrisons, Holyhead, who was banned from speaking Welsh in the workplace.

Mr David Evans, who has now left his post because he could not tolerate the situation any further, has contacted his union, 'Union of Shop and Distributive and Allied Workers' and they are investigating on his behalf.

Osian Jones, Cymdeithas yr Iaith's North Wales Officer, said:

"It's appalling that Morrisons deny their staff basic human rights. It's time for the Assembly Government to establish the right to work in the medium of Welsh or incidents of preventing the Welsh language will happen again."

"We call on the Government in Westminster to transfer all the powers over the Welsh language to Wales so that the Assembly Government can protect the dignity of individuals like David Evans in the workplace."

Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg will hold a Rally in Cardiff Bay calling for all the powers in relation to Welsh language to be transferred to Wales, where Adam Price MP, Angharad Mair (Wedi 7), Hywel Teifi Edwards and Catrin Dafydd will address the crowd.
