The Power of the RMT
Simon Cox investigates the strength of the RMT union, why managers refuse to take it on and the attempts to curb its power.

It has also earned the RMT general secretary the tag of 'the most hated man in London'. Simon Cox investigates the RMT's strength, why managers refuse to take it on and the attempts to curb its power.
