Rail workers call for ‘partisans of workers’ to fight ‘side by side’ with them
RMT

RAIL workers today called for “every partisan of the working class” to fight “side by side” with them against the government’s new anti-strike laws.

Scores of RMT union members staged an angry demonstration outside of the Commons today as Parliament met for the Queen’s Speech.

In the address, which lays out Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s agenda for government, there are passages that will make railway strikes illegal unless a “minimum service provision” is in place.
