RMT
National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers
RMT Union
Formed in 1990 through a merger of the NUR and the National Union of Seamen, the RMT organises workers across rail and maritime roles and is well known in national rail and London Underground disputes. It typically combines collective bargaining with campaigning on rail and transport policy. It operates independently of the Labour Party. UK rail reform discussions, including the planned move toward Great British Railways (GBR), remain a relevant context for parts of its bargaining agenda.
