RMT joins Boycott Barclays campaign

RAIL union RMT has joined the Boycott Barclays campaign, which targets the bank over its investments in military equipment companies supplying Israel with weaponry used to devastate Gaza.

The union also vowed not to use Barclays services and to make sure it avoids putting money into such shareholdings and other investments. 

RMT will write to Barclays calling for the severing of its financial ties with Israel.
