Pride of place in the new suite is taken by the John MacDonald Room, a large and versatile education and meeting space named in memory of the late RMT regional organiser. Alongside a substantial general office, the suite also boasts offices for the two regional organisers, a reception area overlooked by a portrait of late RMT leader Bob Crow and generous archive and storage space. Decorated in RMT colours and hung with pictures of key locations around the North West and North Wales, the ground- floor suite also has a kitchen, toilets and disabled access. “These superb new offices are an excellent resource for RMT members in the North West and represent a confident investment in the future of our union,” said Mick Cash, declaring the premises open for business. “It is fitting that our education and meeting room is dedicated to the memory of John MacDonald – he would be proud of the regional programme of reps’ courses we are planning in conjunction with our National Education Centre,” said regional organiser John Tilley. “We’re grateful to our Liverpool docker comrades at the Casa for giving us ‘temporary’ digs for ten years,” said fellow RO Daren Ireland, “but we needed bigger premises and we now have our own first- rate facility in the city centre to improve our services to members and we have room to grow more fighting trade unionsists”. The new RMT offices are at 2, Temple Square, Temple Lane, Liverpool, L2 5BB, telephone 0151 236 3912, fax 0151 236 3917.
