RMT has hired a coach to lobby the TUC to hold a national demonstration against the vicious cuts of 25-40% which the government wishes to inflict upon the transport industry and right across the public sector.
The coach will leave Unity House (39 Chalton Street, London NW1 1JD) on Sunday 12 September at 7.45am. There are 56 seats, which we hopefully will fill totally with RMT members. We will take people on a first-come-first-served basis.

Come and help with organising the overtime ban, possible additions/adjustments to our action short of strike, and building for the next strike day.
Open to all RMT members. TSSA members welcome too. RMT branches and grades committee secretaries should make sure that at least one person attends from their branch/grade.
