RMT welcomes conviction of Neo-Nazi terrorist who targeted Sadiq Khan

01/05/26

Transport union RMT, expressed solidarity with Mayor Sadiq Khan after he was one of several people targeted by a violent Neo-Nazi terrorist.

Alfie Coleman was 19 when he was apprehended in an MI5 sting while attempting to purchase a Makarov semi-automatic pistol, five magazines and 200 rounds of ammunition, using £3,500 he had saved from a part-time supermarket job.

“The organised working class and trade union movement always opposes division and hatred.”

Assaults: Don't Accept It, Report It

Action Against Assaults campaign 

RMT public transport members like you and your colleagues are facing unacceptable levels of violence and abuse at work. 
That’s why RMT launched its Action Against Assaults campaign – to tackle violence and abuse on public transport and demand employers take action to keep you safe at work. 

RMT cleaners win sick pay demand

TfL cleaners have made a significant gain, as outsourced contractor Mitie, which took over the contract from 1 April, announced it will implement a company sick pay scheme. 

Cleaners will now be entitled to four weeks’ full sick pay.

This would not have been achieved without union pressure. RMT has protested outside City Hall, and lobbied the Mayor and the TfL Board. For the past several years, three key demands for RMT have been travel passes for cleaners, company sick pay, and improved pensions. We have now secured two out of these three.
