    Labour threatens to cut ties with founding union Tom Happold, Guardian UK
    A precursor to the union was, however, instrumental in the founding of the Labour party.

    A railway worker called Thomas Steel is recorded as encouraging his branch to press for a political party to be launched in 1899.

    A resolution was then moved at that year's TUC conference in London on behalf of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, later to become the National Union of Railwaymen, and later the RMT.
