    • Hope Not Hate - Stop the BNP Poster Campaign

    Submitted by paulrutland on 27 May, 2009 - 11:00

    Your help can stop the BNPs national billboard campaign.

    Clear Channel – an outdoor advertising agency – have sold the BNP adverts on billboards across the country – they’re financially profiting from the BNP’s vicious campaign.

    We are asking all our supporters to send a message to Clear Channel – demanding that they take down the BNP’s racist propaganda.

    After you send your letter we will keep you up to date with details about this and other campaigns.

    From Bob Crow, RMT General Secretary

    Dear Colleague,

    Some of you may have seen the editorial comment in the later editions of the Evening Standard on Thursday 21st May attacking RMT members over the industrial action on the Victoria Line that day.

    RMT have asked the Evening Standard for the right to reply. As yet, we have had no response. A copy of my letter to the Standard is attached and reprinted below. Please ensure that it is widely distributed.

    APRIL’S RESOLUTIONS

    ‘Blame the bosses’

    • This resolution is a statement of policy which contains no proposals for action: there is therefore no indication that the Regional Council needs to do anything to implement it. However, any suggestions are welcome.

    Stop Post Office Privatisation

    • I have forwarded this resolution to the CWU’s Regional Council.
    • I have invited the secretary of the CWU’s Regional Council to address our mass meeting.

    Management Anti-Strike Propaganda

    Submitted by Admin on 21 May, 2009 - 23:00

    From Bob Crow, RMT General Secretary.

    It has come to my notice that LUL management are handing out anti-strike propaganda and asking people to sign for it. This is nothing more than a crude attempt to intimidate people during the current ballot and is both counterproductive and completely unnecessary.

    RMT members have already voted for action by a five-to-one majority, but LUL used legal technicalities that would have made no difference to the outcome to stop your union using that democratic mandate.
