This resolution, submitted by LU Engineering Branch, was passed unanimously by RMT Women's Conference. It will now be submitted to RMT's 2009 Annual General Meeting.

That this Conference supports those who wish to work flexibly for caring or other reasons. The practice of railway employers in being consistently half-hearted in accommodating employees and sometimes being deliberately obstructive must be challenged. We demand that the RMT assists any member who encounters problems at the whim of HR by backing the employee’s choices over an often unreasonable management compromise.
