Further to my circular NP339/13, of 5th December 2013, I can advise you that at their March 2014 Statutory meeting the Council of Executives gave further consideration to this matter following the additional meetings that have now been held in Aberdeen and Ayr.

The Council of Executives has adopted the following recommendation of the Political, Transport and Liberation Sub Committee,

The General Secretary is instructed to liaise with the Scottish Regional Council to arrange further consultation meetings in areas where meetings have not taken place including Dumfries, Fife and Tay and the north of Scotland.  Furthermore the June 2014 Council of Executives will make a recommendation on this matter.

In respect of the above I can advise you that the meetings for RMT members will take place on the following dates, venues tbc.

Dundee: 16 April, 6.00pm,
