To: All Branches, Regional Councils and Regional Organisers

8th August 2017
Circular No. NP/130/17


Dear Colleagues

“Cut Fares, Not Staff” Campaigning Day of Action - Tuesday 15 August


RMT will be campaigning through the leafleting of passengers on Tuesday 15 August to protest over the fact that since 2010 fares have risen twice as fast as wages.

We will be using the day that next year’s fare increase are released to highlight that while train companies make big profits on the back of fare rises, members working in the sector are facing unprecedented attacks from employers – ranging from cuts to infrastructure work, the spread of driver only operation, ticket office closures and de-staffing of stations.

Please make every effort to attend and help out colleagues leafletting at stations.
 
If times are not listed please contact your branch for details.

Thanking you in anticipation


Yours sincerely,
