BNP councillor expelled from RMT after threat to Bob Crow
RMT: December 11 2006
FAR RIGHT activist and BNP councillor Rodney Law has been expelled from RMT for conduct inconsistent with membership of the union and for acting in a manner contrary to the interests of the union and its members.
The RMT executive found that in April this year Law acted in a threatening manner towards general secretary Bob Crow while the latter was campaigning against the British National Party in Debden.
A journalist from the London Evening Standard was among several witnesses to the exchange, part of which was reported in the newspaper.
Law was charged with misconduct under RMT's rules and was expelled by the union's executive after twice failing to attend to answer questions as part of the disciplinary process.
