INVASION OF UKRAINE
Further to my circular of 4th March 2022, I placed a report this week before the NEC to say that I had been informed by the European Transport Workers Federation that the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) has launched an emergency fundraising appeal where it is possible to donate to families in need of assistance in Ukraine.
Dear Colleagues
INVASION OF UKRAINE
A recent Special Meeting of the NEC agreed the following statement regarding theinvasion of Ukraine.
“RMT condemns the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces and calls for their immediate withdrawal. It is workers and their communities and families who suffer from military conflict and we will do all we can to support humanitarian assistance for displaced people from Ukraine and all those that need it.
We welcome refugees seeking to come to the UK.

The resolution highlights that the branch 'stand in solidarity with our BEM members against the racism they face in society' and calls for the union to offer international solidarity and to 'develop and support struggles for racial justice and equality in the workplace and wider society.'
