Information About

National Union Of Rail, Maritime And Transport Workers




It was formed by a merger of the National Union Of Railwaymen (NUR) and the National Union Of Seamen (NUS).

Predecessors of the RMT were among the unions which set up the Labour Representation Committee in 1900 . In 2003 , some Scottish branches of the RMT voted to donate some of their funds to the Scottish Socialist Party . This led the Labour Party to disaffiliate the union in early 2004 . In Wales some branches are now supporting Forward Wales , led by the former Labour Welsh Assembly member John Marek .
