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)

Put People First

OK it's a bit anodyne as a slogan - and reminds me of "Make People Matter" for those with long memories, but it's a good point really - the trade unions stand on the side of concern for the humans and not the markets.

Anyway, while you're waiting for me to find time to write up my report of the longest single day NEC meeting since I was elected in 2003 click here and find out about the TUC demonstration called to mark the arrival in London of the "G20" - and put Saturday 28 March in your diary!

We need to have a mass turnout to show that the trade union movement will be organising to try to prevent working people from being made to pay for a crisis which is not of our making.
