Hammersmith & City drivers: Vote YES to strike!
London Underground has sacked Tube driver Chris Barrett after claiming to have filmed him visiting a squash court when he was off sick with an ankle injury. Despite Chris' doctors saying his action was wholly appropriate, LUL is determined to uphold its 'right' to persecute its staff who are ill or injured.
Chris' union, RMT, is balloting its members at Edgware Road and Barking depots for strike action to demand his reinstatement. The deadline for voting is Wednesday 29 October. This special issue of Tubeworker encourages all Chris' colleagues to vote Yes, and sets out some ideas for developing the fight. Download it here.
