In the first installment of Power on the picket line we bring you a round of striking workers from Wincanton, Chep UK, Eastbourne and Oldham buses
Unite the union member Dayne says, “We’ll be escalating things a bit more this time. We got a lot of support off a lot of people, but standing there waving a flag wasn’t getting the message across.”
SWP TV live event on Tues 1 Feb @ 7pm with:
