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)

Solidarity with PCS

Today's budget day strike action by PCS members seeking to defend their redundancy rights shows skillful timing (http://www.pcs.org.uk/en/campaigns/cscs/cscs-updates-and-briefings/blank-page-1.cfm).



The deliberate assault upon public servants by a (notionally) Labour Government weeks from a General Election is less well timed.



As civil servants gather on the streets of London there are politicians at Westminster supporting them (http://l-r-c.org.uk/news/story/solidarity-with-pcs-no-job-cuts-on-the-cheap/). In particular, former Unison official Katy Clark has tabled the motion in support of PCS.



Good luck comrades!
