The Socialist Equality Group calls on rail workers in Wellington to reject the sellout agreement presented by the Rail and Maritime Transport Union, which constitutes a real wage cut, and to form a rank-and-file committee independent of the pro-capitalist union.
The Railroad Worker Rank-and-File Committee held a successful online rally Tuesday, “Defend the railroad workers! Down with Washington’s illegitimate anti-strike law!” More than 400 people registered, making it the best-attended event held by the committee since September 14.
The Opal machine “action” is a farce, specifically intended by the union to sideline workers and not disrupt the regular operations of the railway network.
New South Wales rail workers will turn off Opal readers in an “action” designed by the Rail, Tram and Bus Union to blind workers to its efforts to bury their dispute in the industrial courts.
