Dear Colleague
 
RMT ADVICE TO MEMBERS EMPLOYED IN THE RAIL AND BUS INDUSTRIES
 
Please find below links to two documents containing the RMT’s advice to members employed in the rail and bus industries during the ongoing Coronavirus – COVID-19 pandemic:
 
For Railway (including London Underground) workers:  https://bit.ly/3eey8Ui  
For Bus workers:  https://bit.ly/2Xl48jE
 
The RMT has recently received a barrage of queries from both individual members and from our elected Representatives on what to expect from their employers with regard to the Coronavirus – COVID-19 pandemic, what protections are being put in place and how their health and safety is to be protected by employers.
 
These documents have been sent to all RMT members employed in the rail and bus industries.
 
The RMT’s position is being sent to all rail and bus companies, together with an instruction for the lead officer in each company to raise the RMT’s position with their respective employers.
Please make the contents of this Circular available to all members as a matter of urgency.
 
Yours sincerely
 
Mick Cash 
General Secretary
