EDITORS COMMENTS
David Wetzel, a dedicated trades unionist in the transport industry, is captured here in the midst of his work with London Transport and Transport for London. Beginning his career as a bus conductor, driver, and inspector, Wetzel's passion for advocating for workers' rights shines through in this print from the 1980s.
Standing proudly in front of a classic red double-decker Routemaster bus, Wetzel holds his ticket dispenser with confidence. His shirt sleeves rolled up and a determined look on his face, he embodies the hardworking spirit of those who keep our cities moving.
Beyond his role in the transport industry, Wetzel has also made significant contributions to local politics as a councillor for the London Borough of Hounslow and on the Greater London Council. His commitment to serving both his fellow workers and constituents is evident in every aspect of this image.
As we reflect on the history of labor movements and political activism, David Wetzel stands out as a true champion for justice and equality. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have when they stand up for what they believe in.
