ASLEF District 2 members attended the International Workers' Memorial event in Bathgate today ahead of International Workers' Memorial Day on Monday. We will always fight for our members and better and safer workplaces across the UK.

💥 NEW: A Nazi gig is being planned for Bathgate this Saturday by local Blood & Honour organiser, Thomas Stenhouse. The venue has been kept under wraps as organisers fear the gig could be axed. Back in 2022, HOPE not hate worked with Bathgate locals to call off a similar event.

Performing on the night are Ken McKellan (of Brutal Attack), Brad Hollamby (Bulldog Breed/London Breed), and Benny Bullman from Whitelaw and a surprise band from Germany. Share this thread and raise the alarm @policescotland | @LoveWestLothian

A show of support for Mick Hogg who deserves to be re-elected our Regional Organiser. Another great turn out at our branch meeting. Many more inside unable to get into the pic. Members run our union but we also need good, genuine officials like Mick! @RMTunion @RMT_Scotland

@ASLEF_Scotland @JimBaxter5 Oops just tried to phone him

🗣@RozFoyer Unquestionably, the blame lies at the door of the Prime Minister. He can't ride to power on the promise of change but deliver cuts. It’s a cack-handed decision that will plunge pensioners into fuel poverty just as energy prices rise again. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

@couldasaid @ASLEF_Scotland @ScotRail @FionaHyslop Define targeting? If you are the transport minister who has two busy commuter train stations in your constituency and you're part of a decision that negatively impacts your passengers then surely it is fair to highlight this through the political discourse, regardless of gender?

@ASLEF_Scotland @ScotRail @FionaHyslop Blokes targeting a female politician again. Nice look guys!

Kevin from @ASLEF_Scotland met commuters this morning at Bathgate station to encourage them to sign the Past Its Peak petition, which has already received nearly 1,000 signatures 📝

@BrianMcSporran @thebufferstop @ASLEF_Scotland @ScotRail @FionaHyslop Not sure what room I'm supposed to read? Too many assumptions

@thebufferstop @ASLEF_Scotland @ScotRail @FionaHyslop Of course it's political, this is a political decision taken by the Scottish Government which we disagree with. Why is that a difficult concept to grasp? We applauded the decision to start the trial last year

@ASLEF_Scotland @ScotRail @FionaHyslop Still no comment on LNERs widthdrawl of off peak tickets. This is embarasing now, clearly making this political as you won't say anything to show up #freegearkier and the Westminster government.

@BrianMcSporran @ASLEF_Scotland @ScotRail @FionaHyslop I'm not embarrassed we are campaigning for an affordable railway.

@grendel1970 @ScottishTUC The clue is in the name, it's the Scottish TUC you are replying to.

@ScottishTUC Something isn't right here. Why aren't the TUC campaigning to scrap peak fares in England? Is it because they'd be campaigning AGAINST a Labour government?

🚆 Past It's Peak Trade unions and environmental groups have launched a petition to abolish peak fares in Scotland Affordable, sustainable rail travel should be available to all in Scotland. Sign now & support the campaign to end unfair pricing ⤵️ megaphone.org.uk/petitions/perm…

@dick_john @ScottishTUC This is a rather odd comment, filled with assumptions and not really addressing the issue

@ScottishTUC You sabotaged the reduced prices success by your overtime ban. Did nothing to encourage the UK government to match this anywhere in England and you haven’t acknowledged the wide range of savers introduced. Playing politics for a Labour Party that takes your votes then ignores you

@finlayharris @ASLEF_Scotland Well no but then you don't actually care about the facts

@finlayharris @ASLEF_Scotland To be fair I did have my donkey jacket on and my A-Team piece box in my bag

@OnOmnibus @ASLEF_Scotland @FionaHyslop Check your facts before attempting to bring people down

@ASLEF_Scotland @FionaHyslop Just negotiated a 15pc pay rise and criticise their employer for reintroducing peak fares. What planet are they on? Roll on driverless trains. The technology exists, all that's needed is a govt with balls prepared to inroduce it.
