Two Equalities Conferences
Submitted by janine on Mon, 05/01/2009Here is information about RMT's forthcoming conferences for black and ethnic minority members, and for women members.
Compared with some other sections of the rail and trasnport industry, London Underground's stations and revenue workforce includes a relatively high number of women and is ethnically diverse. It would therefore be good if lots of members from our grades put themselves forward to be delegates.

Dear Colleague,
illegal immigration amnesty-Deserving Dignity
Submitted by ifordavies on Thu, 23/10/2008During the last two years the call for an amnesty for illegal immigation has become wide spread. Who are those calling for such an amnesty? Surprisingly many are party leaders and others political leaders seeking the UK to adopt similar policies to France, Italy, Greece and Spain.
British Transport Police Racism
Submitted by ifordavies on Thu, 09/10/2008The BBC Panorama programme entitled The Secret Policeman Returns charted progress at encouraging black and minority ethnic (BME) people into the force since a similar programme exposed racism among police recruits five years ago.
However shocking evidence was revealed into racism in the British Transport Police. The programme highlights an incident that took place two weeks ago in which two Asian British Transport police sergeants found the Ku Klux Klan emblem and other racist graffiti scraped into their lockers at their station in Stockwell, London.
