Brian Munro - RIP
Submitted by Eamonn Lynch on 28 June, 2014 - 12:58Dear colleagues
It is with deep regret that I advise of the passing of Brother Brian Munro this morning, following a long battle with illness.
As a deeply committed member of the Union with over 20 years service, his loss will be felt by all. A former Secretary of the London Transport Regional Council and the current Secretary of the Bakerloo Line Branch, Brian worked tirelessly to negotiate, campaign and organise on behalf of his members.
