Using archive material held by RMT and the IBMT this latest union pamphlet reveals the full extent of the involvement of transport workers in the fight against Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts in Britain and the struggle against fascism in Spain. Many more workers also fought the fascists on the streets of Britain and NUR general secretary John Marchbank even took on Mosley in the courts and humiliated him. Over 100 seafarers and rail workers volunteered to fight in the legendary International Brigades that fought Nazi-backed forces in Spain while European governments looked the other way in the hope of a fascist victory.
