context_page_description: The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers is a British trade union covering the transport sector. It is currently presided by Michelle Rodgers and its current general secretary is Mick Cash.
  The RMT is one of Britain's fastest growing trade unions. The RMT membership rose under and following the leadership of Bob Crow, with membership increasing from 57,000 in 2002 to over 80,000 members in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Crown Dependencies today.
  It is widely regarded as one of the more radical trade unions in Great Britain able to organise massive industrial action within the transport industry, especially in the railway sector.
