TRANSPORT union RMT will convene a summit of unions, employers and police in a drive to tackle assaults on railway workers, its AGM in Hull declared today.

In a sobering session, several delegates gave harrowing testimony of either being assaulted or being aware of colleagues suffering attacks across the railway.

Mandy Evans (Swansea No 1 branch) told conference: “We’ve had two serious assaults in Swansea in the last two years.”
