We visited the strike by Stagecoach Wales workers this morning in Blackwood. Workers in @UniteWales told us they were struggling to live on current levels of low pay & that the company were attacking sick pay & making them work more for less. They are demanding £10.50 per hour.
At 9:15am today, Wales will fall silent to remember those who were taken from us in the Aberfan disaster.
55 years may have passed, but we will never forget them.
The Welsh Underground Network stands in solidarity with the striking bus drivers in Blackwood, Bryanmawr and Cwmbran. Please stand with us against this mistreatment. #CheersDrive
