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)

International Solidarity (the good news)

I’ve just posted a couple of international stories in quick succession, both dealing with problems affecting the trade union movement (from Australia to Zimbabwe).

I thought therefore I should post a link to the campaign in solidarity with the people of Venezuela, who offer hope to us all.

UNISON policy is to support the colossal advances being made by the Venezuelan Revolution under President Hugo Chavez in carrying out policies, which benefit working people, the poor and the landless. That sounds good to me!

In looking for solidarity websites I found Hands Off Venezuela, the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign and the Venezuela Information Centre.

Let’s hope we can all unite in a good cause comrades – and let’s not forget to fight for socialism in the UK too!
