TRANSPORT UNIONS
Can you help us?
In the next few weeks the CfFPT is aiming to extend its support amongst the Trades Unions by targetting the nation's main transport unions, principally the Rail, Maritime & Transport union (the RMT), UNITE (formerly the T&GWU) and the train drivers union ASLEF.
We are particularly focussing on these Unions because their members will be the most affected by what we are proposing, and likely the biggest beneficiaries in terms of improved job security and better working conditions.
Theses trades unions are also the ones best placed to recruit into their ranks the thousands of new bus, train and tram drivers, guards and related maintenance staff who would be needed to provide the massively expanded, fully integrated public transport service we are wanting to see introduced.
If you are a member of one of these trades unions, and support what we are fighting for, maybe you can help us? E-mail us via:

if you can.
