RMT raises serious concerns with Minister over spike in racist abuse of staff in wake of headlines about terror cells on London Transport
Tube union RMT has today written to the Minister of State for Security, Ben Wallace, after Government comments about the possibility of terrorists embedding themselves within London Transport were turned into front page headlines last week, leading to a spike of racist abuse and threats against staff on London Underground over the weekend.
In the letter, RMT General Secretary Mick Cash, says:
A few months ago, we heard that Brazilian activist and comrade, sister Tamaris Rizzo, keynote speaker at RMT’s reparations conference, was facing difficulties in Brazil, with political turmoil and social/ethnic cleansing in her community.
Tamaris, an activist for ’21 days Without Racism,' alerted us to; 12 persons being shot dead in her local area, military rule over the police, and, personal difficulties with losing her teaching job because of her trade union and political activism.

PAUL ROBESON - A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE AND WORK
Our Black and Ethnic Minority Members' Conference this year passed a resolution calling for an event during Black History Month to mark the 40th anniversary of the passing of the revolutionary Paul Robeson. Such an event should be “dedicated to educate our members on the history of the role of Robeson and members of the NUR/RMT in the Spanish war against facism.”
