The statement below from the Haiti Support Group gives some of the social and political backgrond to the devastating loss of life in Haiti. It shows that although earthquakes are natural, the scale of their impact is largely down to social and political factors. Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones, and we are looking for opportunities to help trade unions and other progressive organisations in the mammoth tasks that face them.

RMT reps Jim McDaid, Garry Houghton, Den Fitzpatrick and Dave Rayfield are taking part in the 3 Peaks challenge (which involves climbing Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis one after the other) on 17 September 2009 to raise money for The Railway Children charity and they would really appreciate your support.
