Last October saw the launch of
RMT’s first ever Disabled
Transport Workers’ Charter.
Four years in the making, the
committee was privileged to
welcome Marsha de Cordova,
Labour MP for Battersea and
herself disabled, to the launch.
She praised the ten-point
charter and what it will mean to
disabled members going
forward.
The charter itself has been
produced by disabled members
striving for all employers in our
remit at least (begin to in some
cases) to adopt the social
model of disability and best
support those of us with a new
or worsening condition. The 10-
point plan details what the
union should all be
campaigning for in the
workplace.

disabled members’ advisory
