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)

The uses and abuses of UNISON Rule K

Continuing the alphabetical theme I think it is reassuring to many UNISON activists to know that should it happen that we breach Rule K (and perhaps Rule I) we need not be villified (or castigated) - or even disciplined - by our Union.

After all - we have seen the treatment of a London UNISON Branch Secretary found to have breached our Rules.

As to whether this treatment would be handed out consistently to all activists in London regardless of their political views, I would comment on that now but am just about to eat pudding so I shall have to come back to this point.
