Some photos from recent picket lines involving GMB, UNISON, PCS, RMT, CWU and Unite members in the Halifax area and Oldham and Liverpool - victory to all of them.

It was a bitterly cold day but nearly 90% of those on strike were on the picket line 

Mohammad Taj, former bus driver and TUC President, was there to show his support. He later spoke to all workers at a brief rally and afterwards donated £50 to the strike fund. To be in Taj's company is a joy.
