Talking GBR, cost of living and Iran with TSSA’s Maryam Eslamdoust | #Railnatter 301

About

In the first of a series of chats with political leaders who are shaping the mobility landscape in the UK, I was delighted to spend a long lunch with Maryam Eslamdoust, general secretary of the TSSA. We talked about a range of subjects including union saturation into the consultancy world, the Iran war and its impacts on the cost of living, rail reform and GBR, as well as her current campaign on violence against transport workers.


Join our chat in the TSSA office and on a multi-train adventure in East London - with extra bits to follow in the bonus.
