The organisers write ...

As part of the London Shop Stewards Network is holding this meeting as part of its program aimed at supporting London CWU postal workers.

At the meeting we will be proposing that in light of the attacks on the CWU postal workers it is necessary to push for our individual unions to coordinate industrial action in existing/coming disputes with CWU strike dates.

Also, that we start building for “supportive actions” if called for by the CWU postal workers.

With GBM's contract being transferred to Initial, who are to further sub-contract it to ICS, Tube cleaners are angry that they are being treated like parcels to be passed around. The only solution is to kick out the contractors and bring Tube cleaning back into an integrated, publicly-owned London Underground.

Join cleaners and their trade union, RMT, in protesting at the offices of LU Metronet, Templar House, 81-87 High Holborn (map here). Bring placards, banners and friends!

Assemble at Upney station.

The fascist BNP - who would ban trade unions if they ever came to power - plan to hold a rally at Upney station TODAY (Thursday 19th) at 7pm.

RMT's London Transport Regional Council has called a counter demonstration for 6pm at Upney station to prevent this racist and fascist group sowing divisions amongst the local community and workforce to further their own political ends.

Venue: Bread and Roses Pub, 68 Clapham Manor Street, SW4 6DZ (about ten minutes walk from Clapham Common tube)

Within the next few months, RMT will hold conferences for young members, women members, black and ethnic minority members, and lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender members.

Members put issues on the agendas of these conferences by getting their branch to submit a resolution. But that can be a bit daunting, so the Regional Council is holding a workshop on how to write resolutions. We will discuss the issues that these groups of members face at work and in wider society, and learn the practicalities of putting it down on paper as a resolution.

A Morden & Oval Busworkers section meeting will take place on Wednesday 25th November 2009 at 4pm at Ruskin Hall, Coombe Road, Croydon.

Venue: Somers Town Community Centre, 150 Ossulston Street, NW1

All members are welcome, and all branches should try to ensure that they are represented.
