Support South Yorkshire strikes

Stagecoach are trying to break the South Yorkshire strike by importing more than a 100 scab drivers from across the country. They have put them up in a hotel, have run ghost route-learning buses, and are levying a flat rate fare on strike days at great cost.
Barnsley Trade Council members supported the picket lines on Friday. If you're in the area, please show your support on the next strike days (Monday 21 November, Friday 2 and Saturday 3 December) at the Barnsley and Rawmarsh depots. Send messages of support and donations (made out to Unite Barnsley) to the local Unite steward: Stuart Bacon, 33 Dearne Road, Brampton, Barnsley S73 0XA.
