Maidstone Greens have showed their solidarity with local rail workers at the picket line at Maidstone East.
Meeting the team on the picket line, Cllr Stuart Jeffery said, “This is a fight that must be won. The RMT are not asking for anything outrageous, just a reasonable pay rise and for their jobs, conditions and the safety of the railways to be protected.
“Two years ago the government asked us to clap key workers, now they are standing idle while the train operating companies threaten redundancies and reduce safety inspections. The government needs to be at the table, this is public transport after all.
“We offer solidarity to the strikers and will stand with them to protect our rail services and workers.”
