Five Weeks ago free travel passes were taken away from pensioners and disabled people in Barnsley, this means that thousands of the most vulnerable people in our communities are now finding it even harder to get out of their homes.
In response pensioners groups, disabled groups and trade unionists have staged five ‘Freedom Rides’, were people board the train and refuse to pay. This week a heavy police presence meant we could not board our usual train to Sheffield, so we cleverly crossed over the bridge and instead traveled to Penistone to stage our rally.
Fantastic support from ASLEF Unite Community and the Bakers Union shows our protest is gaining even more support!!! United We Bargain Divided We Beg!
