Motion: Confront the far-right with working class politics

Submitted by Admin on 3 October, 2024 - 21:19

The following motion was originally passed by Bakerloo branch and then the London Transport Region:

 

CONFRONT THE FAR RIGHT WITH WORKING-CLASS POLITICS

This branch notes with alarm the ongoing upsurge in far-right street activity, particularly targeting refugees, immigrants, Muslims, and trans people.

The politics of this upsurge are aimed at dividing the working class.

Mick Lynch Talks At Demo

Dear Colleague,

UPDATE: FAR-RIGHT VIOLENCE

Further to my earlier circular today (NP/196/24) we have become aware that there could be further demonstrations planned by far-right groups aimed at mosques and refugee centres in the coming week.

We are therefore asking members where possible to be in contact with their local mosques, refugee centres and solidarity groups to offer our union's solidarity and support on the ground at a time when they face severe threats and intimidation.

RMT solidarity message #BlackLivesMatter

Submitted by Admin on 3 June, 2020 - 21:12

Mick Cash, General Secretary and Michelle Rodgers, President:

George Floyd’s death is an indictment of entrenched racism within state forces. Racism has always and continues to inflict injustices on the black communities, not only in the US but also globally and in the UK.

Now is not the time for silence - we must shout our anger in the call for justice. The State must not be a tool for the expression of racism and hatred.

As trade unionists we stand united against state racism. No to silence, no to police brutality. Justice for all. Unity is strength.

March against racism

21 March is United Nations Anti-Racism Day. Stand Up to Racism, to which RMT is affiliated, are organising demonstrations in London and Glasgow to mark this day and to protest at the rise of mass support for racist and fascist forces worldwide.

The Glasgow demo is titled ‘March against Racist Johnson’ and is supported by unions from across Scotland. It will begin at 11am in St George’s Square.

The London demo is titled ‘March against Racism’ and will set off from Portland Place, London W1A at noon.
