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)
It is now clear that there will be no binding agreement at Copenhagen to stop runaway climate change.
Countdown to Copenhagen film night will provide a chance to discuss the issues around the Copenhagen talks, how to get to Copenhagen for the mass mobilisations and what we can do locally.

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.

Our next outing is this Thursday 17 December from 5-7pm. This time we will give out leaflets about Nick Griffin’s absurd role as a climate change denier at the Copenhagen summit (“He does not speak for us”) and reporting “BNP man guilty of terrorism”: the case of BNP member Terence Gavan who “made and stockpiled 54 nail and ball-bearing bombs”, “manufactured shotguns, pen guns and pistols at his home” and was “found in possession of ammunition, a manual on booby-traps” and “an improvised munitions handbook”.
