IMPORTANT: a message to our supporters on our final weekend before the Aslef overtime ban

We wanted to thank you for all your support on social media. We are now well on the way to raising £15,000 and urgently need to be funded before Thursday – so if you can convince even one more person to donate this weekend, it will have a massive effect on our chances of success! This is a real David vs Goliath battle, as you all know.

This is the best link for sharing and it would have an incredible effect if every one of our backers could share it on social media and explain why they support our case.

We are now entering our final weekend of normal life before the commencement of the next Aslef overtime ban. Claims about just how severely Southern Rail is understaffed vary between Southern Rail’s claim of 10% and Aslef’s of 25% – either way, we know from months of suffering how bad an impact this will have. We ask you to join us in calling for proper scrutiny by the media and MPs on the real issues underlying this never-ending crisis of industrial relations.

There has been a lot going on in Southern Rail news this week and we’ve been doing our best to promote the call for proper public scrutiny of this ongoing crisis.

• A lively discussion between ABC’s Emily Yates and LBC’s Nick Ferrari this morning.
• ABC co-director Brad Rees talking about our court case in depth in this TV interview.
• **On Tuesday, we published an expose of alleged health and safety issues at London Victoria, later acknowledged in the Gibb report, where he stated “At…Victoria, pedestrian flows, gateline + concourse capacity are all significantly influenced by commercial strategy….”

We’re doing as much as we can to bring this situation to a close once and for all and badly need your help. Every Facebook share, tweet and – most of all – real life conversation(!) helps us fight back against a very ill-informed media and create a real chance for scrutiny of the government’s agenda.

Please help us to raise £15,000 by Thursday – and let’s do our best to avoid a repeat of the summer of 2016!

Please donate to our crowdfunder and spread the message to your friends and family!
