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)

Pay fiasco shows it's time for a change?

Today, on behalf of the largest group of organised workers in the UK economy, our negotiators have signalled that we'll accept a 1% pay rise, way below the rate of inflation.



I beg to differ that our members should bend the knee to further decline in living standards.



I did say we should reject 1% (http://www.jonrogers1963.blogspot.com/2013/06/show-some-leadership-reject-1.html?m=1)



I foresaw that this might not happen (http://www.jonrogers1963.blogspot.com/2013/06/we-deserve-pay-rise-how-do-we-get-it.html?m=1)



I share the criticisms which are made of this outcome (http://unisonactive.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/njc-pay-consultation-we-got-to-do.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&m=1).



Now, right now, what I want is a leadership prepared to fight.
