There is also an article about Mark Harding, an RMT activist arrested on the picket line, and several picket line photographs.

A meeting is being held to organise the 'Defend Mark Harding campaign. Mark was arrested off of a picket line and held in a cell for 13 hours, before receiving draconian bail conditions following an allegation from an apparent strike breaker.

The meeting will be for RMT members only but we welcome all support for the campaign.
