This is the speech I gave in moving RMT's motion to TUC Women's Conference about sexual assault on stations and trains. TSSA submitted an amendment which RMT opposed. The amendment was defeated and the motion passed.
One of our elected delegates is not here.
Vacancies currently exist for the following positions:
Industrial Rep-Harrow Train Crew Depot (Train-side)
Health and Safety Rep-Willesden Green (Station-Side)
If you are interested in applying for any of these positions, please contact the Branch Secretary or attend the next branch meeting on Wednesday 23rd March.
Please note that the Health and Safety position which was being advertised for Neasden Train Crew Depot (Trainside) has now been filled.
Due to unforseen circumstances the Pension/Wills open day which was scheduled to take place at Harrow tomorrow has had to be cancelled. We are hoping to organise it for another date in March.
Please read the attached leaflet regarding the dismissal of Wembley Park CSA Oge Uche.
In the long running dispute with the Mayor, the RMT taxi branch are organising a demo/go slow around Whitehall and the Houses Of Parliament on Wednesday from 1330.
These demos have had a massive impact on London on the previous occasions they have taken place
We are asking any RMT reps/activists who are able to get down to Whitehall with flags, banners and hooters to give support to our taxi driver comrades.

Further Incidents:
Less than 24 hours after talks broke down with LUL regarding Section 15 Possessions, there have been two further incidents underlining the warnings that the RMT gave that the whole process has casualised safe track access to such a point that serious injury or death was becoming inevitable.
