Submitted by Admin on 14 October, 2009 - 15:59

This resolution, submitted by Central Line West branch and seconded by Neasden branch, was passed unanimously by the October meeting of the Regional Council.

As the number of Bus Workers within the M25 in the RMT fast approaches the 1000 mark we propose that a Bus Workers branch/es be set up in order that Bus Workers may be better served by having those within their specific industry with the knowledge of that industry readily available to the members.

I'm often asked why I don't now join a single grades union and this video states clearly the answer to that and why we need to stand together.
