Dear Colleague,

 

PRIDE EVENTS 2024 

 

LGBT+ Pride events are opportunities for us to promote the union and our campaigns as well as to show support and solidarity for our LGBT+ members and the wider community.  RMT will be looking to have a presence at the following events and I encourage all members to get involved and join in with their friends and family.
