NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL 2026 (Photos 2022)

If you fancy going to Carnival but don’t fancy the crowds then going on the back of the RMT Float is a great way to do it.

Notting Hill Carnival is an opportunity for us to promote the union as well as to show support for the wider community.

The union will therefore be participating again in Notting Hill Carnival this year over the August bank holiday weekend. RMT members are warmly welcomed to join in out places are limited and need to be booked.

If you wish to join in with the union's place in the Carnival please email [email protected] with your name, contact details and also your t-shirt size.

Given that places are limited and often oversubscribed there may be a competition to allocate places.

Paddington Branch popping down to Piccadilly & District Line West Branch picket line at Acton Town today. Got a comprehensive explanation of their dispute from their Reps, Activists and Regional Organiser.

Reform have stated they will scrap Employment Rights Act which will start a race to the bottom for our jobs, pay and conditions. They also voted with the Tories to make it easier to fire and rehire workers. They are not on the side of the worker.

RMT HAS A PROUD RECORD OF FIGHTING EVERY THREAT TO JOBS, PAY AND CONDITIONS FROM ANY GOVERNMENT AND POLITICIANS OF ANY POLITICAL COLOUR.

On my way to Paddington to help with the GWR Customer Host LDC election, then will be heading to Branch where I have a number of GWR issues to report back on today, including:

* Ticket Office & Helpdesk Headcount reductions
* 2026 Pay Deal
* Pension Contribution Reduction

Hope to see some of you there.
