On May 28, 2012 the rail unions - RMT, Aslef, TSSA and Unite - launched the Action for Rail campaign by leafleting train stations nationwide. RMTv caught the launch event at Euston station.
Action for rail was set up to campaign against the McNulty report which recommends massive cuts to the railways which could mean the loss of over 20,000 jobs.
