Stratford no.1 branch is submitting the following resolution to RMT's Station and Associated Grades Conference:

'SOS: STAFF OUR STATIONS' CAMPAIGN

This conference recognises the full-scale onslaught by employers on station staffing levels. This is a threat to station staff jobs, to safety and service standards, and to the help available to other grades.

We request the union to launch and run a national campaign entitled 'SOS: Staff Our Stations', to include:
- industrial action against any attacks by employers on station staffing
- co-ordination of action across different companies
- 'SOS' merchandise eg. badges, stickers, T-shirts
- regional rallies
- a national press launch

Having asked for a national campaign on this question in several previous years, we hope that the union will now run a serious, high-profile campaign on this vital issue.
