The union’s national freight and
logistics industrial organising
conference agreed to focus on
building a practical organising
strategy when it met in
Eastleigh recently.
RMT regional organiser Mick
Tosh welcomed delegates to the
conference which was hosted by
South Hants and Eastleigh
Workshop branch:
“I am glad we are talking
about organising, it gives us an
opportunity to engage and draw
people into the union’s
activities.
“If we can all engage just
one more person and encourage
them to come next year then we
can double size of this
conference,” he said.
Andrew Hill, Leeds City
proposed a unanimously backed
motion calling for the union to
back the reinvigoration of the
freight sectors.
“We call on the NEC to
provide adequate funding and
propaganda resources, to mount
a serious recruitment campaign
throughout the whole of the
freight industry,” he said.
The organising strategy is to
be developed by the conference
liaison committee prior to be
putting forward to the national
executive for approval.
