BOB CROW NATIONAL EDUCATION CENTRE

That this House welcomes the opening of the RMT's Bob Crow National Education Centre which is to take place on 31 July 2015; believes that the RMT and the entire trades union movement lost a great leader of worker last year, but welcomes the fact that his legacy goes on; notes that during his tenure the RMT grew in strength and numbers and Bob's passionate commitment to trade union education was crucially an important part of building a strong, democratic and effective RMT; also further welcomes the fact that his vision of a dedicated trade union education centre emerged over the years, which is a fitting tribute to a great union General Secretary.
