Rishi Sunak's new anti-union legislation means when workers democratically vote to strike, they could be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. Join the campaign to protect the right to strike. https://t.co/HdSqKFoVWi via @megaphoneuk
Radio 4 is reporting this morning that the UK Govt has been subsidising rail companies to ensure they don't incur losses because of the strike. Over £300m of taxpayers cash is funding the strike instead of being used to end it.
