RMT solidarity message #BlackLivesMatter
Submitted by Admin on 3 June, 2020 - 21:12Mick 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.
