THE case of a London Underground worker being charged under anti-union laws was described yesterday as an attempt to “score a point against the RMT.”

Mark Harding, a train driver and transport union branch secretary attended the City of London Magistrates’ Court for a hearing, his second since being arrested in February while on the picket line during the Tube strike. 

Mr Harding was being charged with “compelling” an incident cover supervisor not to go to work on a day of strike.
