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)

Support the Postal Workers

The postal workers have decided to strike and need our wholehearted solidarity.

Extensive local action is already taking place.

I'll blog here as soon as I have details of where to send donations - UNISON branches should be inviting local CWU postal reps to our Branch Committees.

Update - the London Division of the CWU (where 12,500 members have taken up to 14 days of strike action) have set up a hardship fund;

The details of the fund are as follows:
CWU LONDON DIVISIONAL COMMITTEE – HARDSHIP FUND
Unity Trust Account No. 20232065
Sort Code: 086001

Please send donations to the address below:
Hardship Fund
c/o CWU London Divisional Committee
2nd Floor, 33-41 Dallington Street
London
EC1V 0BB
020 7336 8371 or 020 7336 8373

Should we really be encouraging people to send donations by post?
