Hunger striker Rushed To Hospital |
|
One of the sacked airport workers protesting outside Transport House in Belfast has been rushed to Hospital.
Gordon McNeil has not eaten for four days and is into his second day without water.
He has been protesting alongside two other men against union Unite over the legal costs of fighting their former employer.
The protesters were dismissed from their security posts at Belfast International Airport in controversial circumstances in 2002.
Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday Mr McNeil said: "It's absolutely unreal, it's destroying me, it's destroying my health."
Unite believe they have: "Acted honourably towards the three men".
The protesters say they have spent seven years of their lives on this campaign.
