WorkWeek looks at the reason that the UK Rail Maritime And Transport Union RMT urged a yes vote to leave the EU through Brexit. We interview Paul McDonnell who is a London bus driver and also on the National Executive Committee of the RMT.
Next we hear about the first national railway strike in India in 45 years over wages and working conditions.
Last we discuss the relevance of the 1934 general strike in San Francisco. The strike was successful in building the ILWU and brought hundreds of thousands of workers into unions in Northern California. Jack Heyman a retired member of ILWU Local 10 and with the Transport Workers Solidarity Committee talks about the issues facing workers today.
