RMT Press Office:
RMT took the campaign against low pay at the Royal Fleet Auxiliary to the Labour Party conference meeting in Liverpool.
The colourful protest was addressed by RMT general secretary Mick Lynch and RMT president Alex Gordon who called for action against low pay which has dogged the vital service for years.
“These seafarers perform a vital service around the world yet the RFA will be facing a recruitment and retention crisis unless there is a reasonable reward for the crucial work they do,” said Mick Lynch.
