Fórsa was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Fórsa and former IMPACT activist Bob Cowman. 

A former Wexford County Council employee, Bob was a loyal member and avid trade union activist for many years, serving as the chairperson of the Wexford branch and on the local government and local services DEC.

Fórsa national secretary Peter Nolan paid tribute to his friend and union colleague, describing him as treasured and committed. “Bob worked tirelessly on behalf of his work colleagues in Wexford County Council and throughout the workforce,” said Peter.

“He was a valued, esteemed and committed trade unionist who always had time to listen, and will be sadly sorely missed. The local government and local services division sends its deepest sympathies to his family,” he said

Our thoughts are with Bob’s family and friends at this time.

It’s never been more important – or easier – to get the protections and benefits of union membership. Join Fórsa HERE or contact us HERE.
