HUGH LANNING says there is no path to peace without dismantling Israel’s control over Palestinian land, lives and resources

HEALTH and safety are at the core of everything we do as a trade union. Transport workers play a vital role in keeping our communities moving. However, many still face unacceptable risks, including workplace violence and hazardous conditions.
RMT is committed to ensuring that all transport staff can work safely and with dignity, and we believe that stronger protections are needed to achieve this.
That is why we are bringing together safety representatives from across the country for our Health & Safety Advisory Conference. This important event provides a platform for trade union activists, legal experts and campaigners to examine the current challenges facing transport workers and to push for practical solutions that will make workplaces safer.

Our members face serious violence, crumbling workplaces and exposure to dangerous drugs — it is outrageous we still cannot legally use our industrial muscle to fight back and defend ourselves, writes STEVE GILLAN

Our members face daily abuse, being spat at, sometimes even deadly assaults, and employers fail to take the issue seriously despite the increasing danger, writes RMT general secretary EDDIE DEMPSEY
