London Underground worker found not guilty of 'politically motivated' charge
Court victory for RMT rep accused of 'intimidation'

A LONDON UNDERGROUND worker was found not guilty yesterday after months of “political prosecution.”

Train driver and transport union RMT branch secretary Mark Harding was told he was free to go, having been arrested under section 241 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act in February, accused of intimidation by former Transport for London graduate trainee Gareth Scott.

Mr Scott, who crossed an RMT picket line at Hammersmith Tube station, called the British Transport Police after suggesting Mr Harding had called him a “scab.”
