Online meeting: The Wellington bus drivers dispute and the case for rank-and-file committees The Socialist Equality Group in New Zealand is holding a public meeting on Saturday July 17 at 4:00 PM (New Zealand time) to discuss the way forward for bus drivers in Wellington, and the need to build rank-and-file committees. We call on workers and students throughout NZ and internationally to take part in this important discussion. Please registerhere to attend on Zoom.
The forum will be addressed by members of the SEG in New Zealand and the Socialist Equality Party in Australia, as well as David O’Sullivan, a member of the London Bus Rank-and-File Committee and the Socialist Equality Party in the UK. O’Sullivan was sacked for upholding workers’ rights to health and safety, during the pandemic, that has killed more than 60 London bus workers, almost 130,000 people in the UK, and more than 4 million worldwide.
