South Kensington, London. Tue 31 Oct 2017
Members of United Voices of the World union and friends meet at South
Kensington station for an emergency
Halloween-themed protes the day after a dissapointing hearring
where H R Owen and Templewood said if Angelica and Freddy didn't promise
to go back to work on lousy and
promise not to take strike action they didn't have a job.
They work in a luxury car showroom for companies that make huge profits
but won't pay a living wage

Petros arrives and speaks about what the employers have demanded,
which everyon is apalled at
and the protesters set off to walk down the road to the showroom.
But they have been seen on the way
and find the doors have been locked when they arrive
so they protest outside
at first on the pavement
but soon they decide to block the road
