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)

We need a revolution?

In anticipation of a fuller report from today's meeting of the UNISON NEC which is underway now I thought I would share what our General Secretary had to say in a debate on recruitment (set against the backdrop of low union density and the prospect of a Tory Government).

Dave said that there has got to a revolution in the way this Union is run in order to devote more resources to recruitment, and that we need to move forward on an independent basis.

I am always pleased to hear the need for positive change in UNISON argued for in a forceful way.

Yes we do - and as we pay the wages of the staff that UNISON employs, let's hope they work to help us all on this one!
