Jonathan William Harvey SWALLOW
SWALLOW - Jonathan William Harvey Swallow, previously of Ilkley, Yorkshire, son of Major Albert Graham and Sybil Mary Swallow and champion of workers' rights, died Mater Hospital, Belfast May 31, 2016 aged 63 after a short illness.
The Regional Committee, members and staff of UNISON Northern Ireland notify, with great sadness, the death of our friend, comrade and member Jonathan.
Our members have lost a champion and someone whose personal contribution to our union, the wider trade union movement and the peace process over the last 30 years can never be underestimated.
Public services owe Jonathan an enormous debt. He saved the jobs and services of thousands of public service workers in Northern Ireland and across the UK. Jonathan is held in the highest respect, not only by workers and trade unionists, but by those honourable senior public servants and politicians who also valued his far-sighted advice.
We will miss him dearly.

A memorial service will be arranged at a later date.
