RMT: Ticket Office Closure Demos

Between 7am and 9am on Friday 21 July, there will be a demo taking place at Putney Station.

Between 5 and 6pm there will be a similar demo taking place at Brentford Station.

If you can help at either of these locations, it will be much appreciated

It’s not just about jobs, it’s going to seriously affect the travelling public if these ticket office closures go ahead, particularly disabled and other vulnerable travellers.

Action!

Monday 13th March 

– BMA Junior doctors begin their 3 day strike. There will be pickets at all major hospitals including North Middx and the Whittington from 7am-10am, and from 7.45pm-9pm

As well as speakers advertised, Danny Denny, General Secretary of the Caribbean Movement for Peace and Integration will be talking about reparations for slavery. With the government ramping up racism towards refugees, the far right attacking hostels, and the suspension of Gary Lineker for speaking out about this, the meeting is both timely and important.
