Transport and offshore Union RMT has announced that its Executive have agreed to support the campaign of Neil Findlay to become leader of the Scottish Labour Party and the campaign of Katy Clark to become deputy leader.
Although the RMT is not affiliated to the Labour Party Neil and Katy are active members of the RMT Parliamentary groups at Holyrood and Westminster and also have a track record of fighting for nationalisation of the railways and trade union and employment rights.
RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said,
"Both Neil Findlay and Katy Clark are strong supporters of public ownership and trade union and employment rights and it is clearly in the interests of the working class that they succeed. We wish them every success and stand ready to assist their campaigns."
