“Public transport should be run in the public interest – not to line the pockets of private firms" - Eddie Dempsey , RMT General Secretary 👏

Today is International Workers' Memorial Day 🧵 🚧 137 UK transport workers killed on the job since 2010.  Nobody should go to work but not come home again.  This #IWMD2025, we fight for mandatory safe staffing levels and an end to fatigue-driven shifts.

Why have P&O Ferries auditors resigned — and why are their company accounts now seven months overdue? This is a company that unlawfully sacked 800 workers. Now it’s dodging financial transparency too? Time for answers.

Even KPMG have taken action against P&O Ferries. Surely the Insolvency Service should too? This just demonstrates the need for a complete ban on fire and rehire.

Watch RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey's powerful International Workers' Day speech, rallying for stronger workers' rights and union solidarity. #InternationalWorkersDay

It incenses me that the cleaners for my TOC wear our branding, they work as hard as any of us, but have no access to the internal job site to make steps in their career. We lauded them as heroes during Covid yet in so many ways they ‘don’t count’: RMT is out to change that.

It’s fantastic to see this film launched. The Apprentice charter was thought of and made by young members and is a key step in changing our industries for the better!

Between 2013–2022, the average Return Of Capital Employed for train operators was 126%. So for every £1 they risked, they earned £1.26 in profit. High ROCE here doesn’t reflect innovation or risk, just a system where public money props up private gain. RMT

If Robert would like to increase staffing levels across TfL to ensure properly manned stations (including revenue staff) and reverse cuts to funding for the British Transport Police he can be my guest. Although I suspect “polite advice” is far as this climber will go

A heartfelt send-off for an RMT legend! ✊ Wigan branch honoured our recently retired General Secretary, Mick Lynch, with a retirement presentation celebrating his decades of tireless work fighting for workers’ rights. A true champion of the trade union movement—thank you, Mick!

🚨 63% of public transport workers experienced violence at work last year. And 85% were attacked more than once. This is a crisis. It’s time for #ActionAgainstAssaults. Read RMT's shocking new survey issuu.com/rmtunion/docs/…
