TO: THE SECRETARY
ALL BRANCHES & REGIONAL COUNCILS
Dear Colleague,
Nominations for RMT B&EMM Course, 7-8 November 2014
The RMT black and ethnic minority members’ empowerment course has been rescheduled so that it can take place over two days and requires only 1 night away. The purpose of the course is to help black and ethnic minority members understand how the union works, including history, structure, resolutions etc and to overcome the barriers which discourage them from becoming active.
The course will take place from Friday 7 November to Saturday 8 November 2014 at our National Education Centre in Doncaster. The course will commence with a lunch at 1pm on Friday and will conclude by 4pm Saturday.
Branches are invited to nominate one representative but in doing so please ensure that your nominee will definitely be able to attend the school if allocated a place. The application form can be sent directly to the Education Centre and the costs of this course will be met by Head Office.
All black and ethnic minority members are encouraged to take this course once and then move up to representative/officer level courses.
Yours sincerely,
Mick Cash
Acting General Secretary
