About the Flag

"The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) is a British trade union for transport workers, affiliate of the World Federation of Trade Unions and the European Transport Federation. It was formed by a merger of the National Union of Railwaymen (NUR) and the National Union of Seamen (NUS). Predecessors of the RMT were among the unions which set up the Labour Representation Committee in 1900. It has more than 80,000 members from almost every sector of the transport industry - from the mainline and underground railways,
shipping and offshore, buses and road freight."

Its flag is the logo in white over a red horizontal flag, as seen here: http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/14488/production/_84708038_e9d87556-e2b6-4513-8547-741892ddeec6.jpg (source: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-33798637)

A variant is also the same logo in white over a green horizontal flag, as seen here: http://www.rmt.org.uk/public/images/rmt-taxidemo14-7-15j-comp.jpg (source: http://www.rmt.org.uk/campaigns/road-transport/plying-for-hire-need-for-a-statutory-definition/)

Another photo of the red flag (used to illustrate a 2018 strike news): https://i2-prod.chroniclelive.co.uk, https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk. And another photo of the green flag, in use along a red one, at https://files.libcom.org (used to illustrate a 2014 strike report).

A logo showing both flags, with the green one in the foreground, can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/RMTunion. Visiting https://www.rmt.org.uk, R.M.T.’s official website, one gets the impression that among the two colors, green is preponderant.

The use of both red and green flags is likely based on an earlier (the original?) logo design, which had a red background and a solid green ellipsis https://www.facebook.com/photo.php containing the initials in white, thinly edged and surrounded by the full name in golden(?) capitals. There is no current use of either of these older style logos/emblems on flags, apparently, but there might have been in the past.

While going around in search of elusive old or alternative R.M.T. logos and flags, I saw many of photos of R.M.T. flags in actual use – in pickets, demonstrations, offices, and more, and it really seems that wherever there are green flags present, there’s also few red ones, and the opposite is also true.
