The Northern Ireland Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions held a silent vigil at Belfast City Hall at 1pm on Tuesday, March 22 following the recent murder of Prison Officer Adrian Ismay.
Peter Bunting, Assistant General Secretary of the ICTU, said: "All workers across the communities that make up Northern Ireland must unite to ensure that our peace process will not be derailed.
'those behind this murder must be faced down with a public display of the unity of the people of Northern Ireland.
"We urge all employers in both the public and private sectors to facilitate their workers attendance at the rally."
