Now -read the book!

Here is a link to my memoirs which, if you are a glutton for punishment, you can purchase online at https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/an-obscure-footnote-in-trade-union-history.
Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. (William Morris - A Dream of John Ball)

Perils of live blogging at the TUC

Between the laptop battery and the number of other things which there are to do I can’t keep up a running commentary – but other UNISON comrades are also blogging here and here.
I will however make mention of the debate on slavery, squeezed in at the end of the morning session this morning, and to Colin Moses of the POA in particular who pointed out that the legacy of slavery is with us to this day.

Well done Jon and Andrew for managing to represent UNISON so well on the BBC website voxpop at the TUC. (Its at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6989269.stm)

It's nice to know you aren't spending all your time there trying live blogging!
