Ray Walker
Communist to Labour
August 2021 tributes are being paid to a Salford councillor who died following a sudden illness aged 57.
Labour councillor for Blackfriars and Trinity Ray Walker, has been described by friends and colleagues as a ‘selfless’ man, ‘enthusiastic’ councillor and a trade unionist who was ‘deeply passionate’ about the city.
He served as a shop steward for two trade unions before becoming the branch secretary for Salford Unison and rising up the ranks in the local Labour Party.
He was an executive member of the Communist Party of Britain before joining the Labour Party and working for Salford and Eccles MP Rebecca Long-Bailey.[1]
