Welcome to RMT Vision, our London Transport Regional Magazine specifically designed for the exclusive under 30’s club. This magazine had been a long time in the pipeline, but with the right enthusiasm and dedication I am proud to say we have finally reached “lift off”.

In this first issue, we have tried to cover articles that you wish to read as a young member and to represent the diversity of London and our union.

This magazine will only work with the participation of the young members regionally and nationally, please do tell us what you think by contacting: rmtyoungcomrade@gmail.com with ‘editor’ in the subject line

As chair of the National Young Members Committee I am proud to be have been part of the London Transport Young Members Team responsible for delivering you the first edition of this quarterly YM Magazine.

2008 saw the election of Becky Crocker as the LT regional young members officer and the formation of an informal regional YM committee; the exact same comrades we have to thank for this fine new magazine!

The YM regional committee started touring workplaces seeking out more young RMT members.

With help from the regional secretary and the organising unit the committee organised a training day and even a go karting trip. Haven't seen them at your workplace yet? Then why don't you get in touch and we'll make the journey.

On a national level 2008 saw RMT young members from our region dominate the 2008 national young members conference in terms of presence and motions submitted.

We also took 3 of the 5 seats available on the national YM committee too. Myself being elected as Chair, Ross Marshall Central Line West as Vice Chair and Becky Crocker Camden No.3 as a committee member. More details of the work performed by the national committee and it's members will follow in later editions of this magazine.

It's great to know we have so many active young members in our region already! However, for future editions we want to here from you... do you hold a rep or branch officer position? Have you been on a recruitment drive? Maybe you've been on a demo or picket line? Or maybe you've been campaigning for an affiliate organisation? Whatever your story why don't you drop us a line and see your story published in the next edition.

After all the hard work that's gone its creation I hope you enjoy reading these 20 pages and look forward to receiving your feedback for future editions.
