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 J

Some years ago UNISON solicited a complaint against ourselves to the Certification Officer because a branch had paid out money to the Socialist Workers Party in breach of Rule J.

More recently it has come to light that members paid money to an internal Labour Party campaign out of branch funds in breach of the same Rule.

But no one from within UNISON HQ has solicited a similar complaint to the Certification Officer.

I would blog more on this now but my food is cooked so you'll just have to wait...
