Resolution to Regional Council: RMT Website

Neasden Branch submits the following resolution to the next meeting of the Regional Council ...

This Regional Council notes the sterling work carried out by the webmaster at RMT, with the provisions of the current RMT Website, RMTV and RMT Junction.

We feel that the RMT website as it is, is outdated, difficult to use, and not effective enough to communicate with our members.

Resolution to Regional Council: RMT Membership 'App'

Neasden branch submits the following resolution to the next meeting of the Regional Council ...

This Regional Council notes the introduction of mobile technology and believes it could be used to improve communication with our 80,000 strong membership.

Resolution: 2011 Pay Claim

Stratford no.1 branch submits the following resolution to the next meeting of the Regional Council ...

This Regional Council believes that RMT's pay claim to London Underground for 2011 should include:

  • a flat-rate pay rise for all grades ie. a sum of money (say, £3,000) rather than a percentage figure.
    Amendment from Finsbury Park branch: This should not be less than would have been achieved by an RPI pay rise for 2011.
  • a rise sufficient to fund workers having to pay an additional 2.5% VAT from 2011.
    Amendment from Finsbury Park branch:
