Defend Jim Board

A hat tip to MJ over at Unionfutures for having been first online with this.

UNISON's Doncaster Branch Secretary, Jim Board, has been suspended by the Mayor of Doncaster in what looks a lot like an attack on our Union.

In addition to welcome support for Jim from within the labour movement, UNISON are fully behind our Doncaster Branch Secretary and I will blog further as I hear more.

Doncaster Mayor Peter Davies (an "English Democrat") has been promoting a new non-TUC union set up by his own little political party.

He may be missing the point.

I'm English.

I'm a democrat.

I am proud to stand in the tradition of Wat Tyler and Tom Paine and I'm pretty sure that they would be with Jim Board and not Peter Davies.
