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)

"Conference also discussed the government attack on public service pensions"

I am given to understand that the extract above from the report on our website of yesterday's Higher Education Service Group Conference (http://www.unison.org.uk/news/news_view.asp?did=7635) - which is in fact the last sentence of the report - may somewhat understate the importance of that debate and the significance of the events leading up to it.



Regular readers Sid and Doris Rule-Book-Anorak may well want to learn more about a day long stand off between a Conference and its Standing Orders Committee. Others (in the vicinity of Euston Road) may be given pause for thought.



I'm looking forward to a full report from a reliable source (http://maxwatsonunison.blogspot.com/).
