Dear Colleagues

Representatives/Activists One Day Training

The RMT are arranging local courses for all reps and activists for recruitment/retention and mapping.

The courses will be run local to branches in the London Transport region and are for 1 day.

All reps should try to attend as we believe this course offers local reps guide and assistance on managing members in their areas and can aid in improving recruitment.

Dear colleague

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – NETWORK RAIL

After four days of talks at conciliation service Acas between your union and Network Rail management, the company has tabled a revised offer. Your Executive Committee has considered this offer and decided to suspend all industrial action which had been scheduled to take place on Monday 25th May and Tuesday 26th May 2015.
