From Steve Hedley Regional Organiser for RMT.
(Early on I thought I would follow the RMT's coverage of the RMT though I am in an active way and supportive, its not the key part of this MA.. but important)
You may have read a completley false story about me in the evening standard .
The story is this.I was at mile end station and was aware that three trains had dropped off pasangers at a station that was supposed to be closed.I went to question a manager as to why he was keeping the station open with less people than the minimum number required and in so doing breaking the law so move him back.section12(brought in after the Kings Cross disaster)
The manager leaned towards me in an agressive way only inches from my face and i put my hand on his shoulder to prevent him headbutting me.Three independent witnesses including a prosecution witness confirmed my story the manager had no witnesses.Despite this the bosses court could not resist the opportunity to have a political stab at the RMT and fined me 200 pounds plus 500 costs.I am of course appealing.

Ironically during the last metronet strike I saved a standard photographer from a management thug who attacked him see link.Of coures this did not get reported in the standard or any other paper.One law for them another for us.
