It is with great sadness that we hear of the untimely death of Mel Corry.

The Workers Party extends its sincere condolences to his wife Fiona and to his family, friends and comrades in the trade union movement and the Communist Party.

Mel was well known and well respected in the labour movement. He was deeply committed to the anti-sectarian cause and his work in political education, employment advice and his determined opposition to sectarianism in the workplace will be long remembered. His work with Trademark will be a lasting legacy to him.

A staunch defender of workers’ rights, Mel Corry will be sadly missed by us all
