RECRUIT YOUR WORKMATES!

RMT helpline 0800 376 3706 :: november/december 2023 :: RMTnews 15 The union has produced calling cards with a simple-to- use QR code to allow your workmates to instantly join RMT and enjoy protection at work from day one. Just by using the camera on any smart phone via the QR code on the calling card, transport and energy workers of any grade can join up. The more of your workmates that are in the union in your workplace then the stronger your voice will be when it comes to health and safety, terms and conditions, rostering, pay, job security and any number of other issues. Every branch and regional council will receive batches of the calling card to be used in the workplace at any time. As a result, we can all be recruiters whenever we like. You can encourage potential members to simply scan your card or give them a card to take away and join and even allow them to recruit other workers as well! In addition to using these cards on your planned recruitment activities through the year, they can be provided to branch members to recruit with great ease and convenience. Branch and regional representatives can distribute them to workplaces and depots how they see fit. RMT general secretary Mick Lynch welcomed the initiative to win more members to the union at a time when all grades need their union to speak for them in the workplace. He said that if this initiative proved to be successful more cards will be made available as required. “It is crucial that we all become recruiters in the workplace and beyond in order to give you a stronger voice on issues that matter to you,” he said. RMT branches and regions can get more cards by emailing b.denny@rmt.org.uk RECRUIT YOUR WORKMATES!
