IMPACT members, staff and activists have received the sad news that our colleague Tom Bogue died earlier this month. A trade union activist for over 50 years, Tom was formerly president of the Local Government and Public Services Union (LGPSU) – one of the unions that merged to create IMPACT.
Tom was a stalwart of IMPACT’s Cork branch, the Cork Trades Council and the ICTU unemployed centre in his beloved Cork city. He was respected throughout the union movement for his commitment, hard work and cool judgement, and also for his deep understanding of local government and public service issues. In recent times Tom was an active member of IMPACTs retired members’ vocational group. The ICTU executive passed a motion of sympathy at its April meeting. A full obituary will appear in the next issue of IMPACT’s Work & Life magazine.
