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)

Proud to be UNISON - Proud to be United Left

It was as ever (and this won't shock regular readers Sid and Doris political-anoraks) a pleasure to chair this afternoon's meeting of UNISON United Left (UUL).

A small (but perfectly formed!) gathering of comrades who weren't either in Birmingham or on the Palestine demonstration got through the work that we needed to do.

UUL - with our allies on the left in UNISON - has just run a positive campaign in the UNISON NEC elections (whilst our opponents sniped and smeared from the sidelines).

Organising the rank and file is necessary if we want to build better unions, and if you are a UNISON member I invite you to join the United Left.
