Sub zero temperatures failed to deter thousands of public sector workers from across the city joining picket lines in the city today. Workers gathered at two rallying points at Sainsbury’s car park and Altnagelvin before setting off for the Diamond and marching together down Shipquay Street to Guildhall Square for the main rally and speeches.
