Anti Racism demo Saturday 16 March 2019

Demos need people and we need RMT members to turn up in numbers.

Racism and the far right exist only when we let them.

March 16 is our chance to show we will not tolerate fascist and racist agendas set by anti worker groups.

The working class will as they always have stand firm against the right wing.

 

Please join us on our demo and share this widely with your family, friends and work colleagues.

Staff Our Stations: reps campaigning meeting

REMINDER - Staff our Stations - Reps Campaigning Meeting - Thursday 16th January 

Dear colleague,

As part of the Staff Our Stations campaign, the NEC has instructed me to arrange a high profile meeting of station staff reps including Tier 2 and Health and Safety reps and branches that represent station staff.
