Black and ethnic minority RMT members are organising for equality and against racism.
A demonstration will take place from 1pm - 2pm at 100, Liverpool Street, London, EC2, in support of Alberto Durango, a cleaner and rep who has been harassed, victimised and was sacked for his union activities by Lancaster (Rentokil).
Alberto is a good friend of London RMT Bus Workers and they are asked to attend the demonstration and give their support to him.

Within the next few months, RMT will hold conferences for young members, women members, black and ethnic minority members, and lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender members.
Members put issues on the agendas of these conferences by getting their branch to submit a resolution. But that can be a bit daunting, so the Regional Council is holding a workshop on how to write resolutions. We will discuss the issues that these groups of members face at work and in wider society, and learn the practicalities of putting it down on paper as a resolution.
This is the section of the General Secretary's report to RMT's 2009 AGM concerning the the union's work on black and ethnic minority workers' issues ...
BLACK & ETHNIC SURVEY
Report by Glenroy Watson. The conference took place on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th March 2009.
Conference opened without our Chair, elected at last year’s conference and as a result I was elected to Chair this year's conference in direct contradiction of our ‘own’ standing orders. More about that, later.
Conference was again well attended, but could have been better.
RMT has demanded that London Underground stop its victimisation of Waterloo station staff representative Elaine Holness.
One of RMT's equality reps emailed me a few questions for a course he is doing. I thought it might be worth sharing the questions and my replies with website readers.
