At the beginning of October, I visited striking rail workers from the RMT and ASLEF in Newcastle and Communication Workers Union Posties and BT staff in South Shields. I attended the picket in Newcastle of both the RMT and ASLEF members taking part in strike action and walkouts on the 1st October to defend jobs, pay and working conditions.
I also attended the CWU postal workers strike on the 30th September and the BT staff walk-out on 6th October to support those on the picket lines.
