Report on ETF Women's Conference
Submitted by rmtlondon on 16 June, 2013 - 23:45This report on the European Transport Workers Federation Women's Conference has been endorsed by the RMT Executive.
The ETF Women’s Conference (and Congress) met in Berlin in the 80th anniversary year of the Nazis’ storming of trade union offices and deportation of trade unionists to camps, and of the repression of LGBT venues and communities. There is a temporary display near the Brandenburg Gate on Unter den Linden, and I also visited the memorials to both Jewish and homosexual victims of the Holocaust.

This event has now taken place. In excess of £2300 was raised for the Brian Munro Cancer Fighting Fund, a planet destroying spaceship was built (out of lego), and lots of people had fun watching it all happen live
In a bid to generate donations for the Brian Munro Cancer Fighting Fund, Janine built a Lego Death Star - in a single sitting of around 20 hours.
We streamed the event live here, on 15th of June, between 4am and midnight.
