The Sun Apologises to RMT General Secretary Bob Crow
On September 15 the Sun ran an anti-union article in which it made false and damaging allegations about RMT General Secretary Bob Crow, suggesting that he had a union-subsidised home and a luxury car.
Neither is true, and the Sun carried an apology, which can be read online here.
The newspaper will also pay £5,000 to the RMT widows and Orphans Fund and will pay the union’s legal costs.
The article reads "...On 15 September [The Sun] reported RMT General Secretary Bob Crow had a union-subsidised home and luxury car. In fact, Mr Crow's home has never been subsidised by the union and he does not own a car, union or otherwise, and champions public transport. We are happy to set the record straight and apologise to Mr Crow. "
