RMT demo against unfair work visa changes

Dear colleague,

Your Union is continuing its campaign against the Government's recent unfair and arbitrary changes to the Skilled Worker Visa rules which are impacting a number of RMT members, putting them at risk of deportation when their current visas expire, which for some is in a matter of weeks or months.

Following the demonstration outside the Home Office last month, we are now taking our campaign directly to Parliament and holding a demonstration on Wednesday 15th October at 1pm outside Parliament at Old Palace Yard, SW1P 3JY.

I wrote to you yesterday (3rd September) following the talks with London Underground, stating that no new offer has been made and therefore the strike action would remain on.

I received correspondence from London Underground this morning, claiming to be a new offer – and this is a claim that they have gone on to make in the media today.
