Staff our Stations - Regional Campaign Meetings

Head Office Circular: NP/200/21
08 June 2021

To: The Secretary
ALL RAIL, LONDON UNDERGROND AND METRO BRANCHES
REGIONAL COUNCILS

Dear Colleague

RMT has long campaigned against attempts by Government and train companies to cut station staffing, close ticket offices and casualise the workforce under the Staff our Stations campaign. Whilst the threats to station grades, of course, pre-date Covid-19, it is clear that Government and companies are attempting to use the pandemic to attack station grades jobs, pay and conditions.

It is vital that all station grades are well organised to fight these attacks and that RMT has a visible presence in all workplaces.

Therefore, as part of the Staff our Stations campaign, meetings have been scheduled in each region. The purpose of these meetings is to ensure that station grades members are organised across each region and to plan how we will fight attacks on station grades and protect jobs, pay and conditions and recruit new members.

The meetings are open to all RMT station grades members, reps and local officers in the rail, London Underground and metro sectors, including those employed by agencies or on outsourced contracts.

The meetings will be taking place online from 6pm – 8pm on the following dates:
