National shop stewards' network

founding conference

Hundreds of shop stewards from across Britain gathered in London last October to found a grassroots network capable of mobilising trade unionists to fight for workers' rights.

Called by the RMT transport workers' union, the conference was supported by the TGWU, CWU, PCS, NUJ, NUM, CYMU, FBU, POA and BFAWU.

Addressed by the RMT's Bob Crow, Mark Serwotka from the PCS and a number of other union leaders, the meeting agreed to organise a shop stewards' conference this year.

Saturday 7 July, 11am - 5pm
