RMT Drivers Strike for Justice


Victoria line drivers held a solid day of strike action, with not a single train running all day Wednesday.

The drivers took action to demand the reinstatement of sacked workmate Carl Campbell (pictured) as well as the installation of Correct Side Door Enabling equipment, and an end to managers' mistreatment of staff, especially RMT branch chair Glenroy Watson.




RMT's Derek Bishop explains the issue to a passer-by. The strike received a lot of support from passengers.
