Between 10am and 1pm today, members of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg will launch a new period in their campaign for a new Welsh Language Act.

Between 1 and 2 o'clock today (Friday 15/06/07) Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg will stage a demonstration outside the premises of Thomas Cook in Bangor because of that company's policy of denying its workers the right to speak Welsh in the work-place. At the same time, smaller protests will be held outside the Thomas Cook shop in Queen Street, Cardiff and in Carmarthen.

Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg has announced that it will give Thomas Cook, the travel agents that has banned its staff from speaking Welsh, three days to change its mind.

Cymdeithas yr Iaith expect the travel firm Thomas Cook to very quickly reverse its stand on staff using Welsh during their work. If they do not back down, a major protest will be held at their Bangor shop at 1pm on Friday (15/06).
