Transport workers vote to stand up to racism

TRANSPORT workers union TSSA agreed to affiliate to Stand Up To Racism at the union’s annual conference yesterday.

Dave Barnes, from Network Rail London South branch, told conference that last weekend’s march of fascist thugs in London was “a wake-up call for us all.”

He pointed the finger squarely at PM Theresa May’s hostile environment, which he branded “a deliberate policy, a racist policy, to install a position that says migrants and others are responsible for the reduction of public services. It is an absolute lie and a crime.”
