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)

Support the FBU

Firefighters in London (http://www.london.fbu.org.uk/) are striking today (http://m.guardian.co.uk/?id=102202&story=http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/davehillblog/2010/nov/01/november-in-london-begins-with-strikes) and deserve the support of all trade unionists.



The threat of mass sacking to impose contractual change is the hallmark of the reactionary employer and if LFEPA get away with it than every trade unionist in London will be at greater risk.



In other organisations we need to review fire risk assessments and consider if existing control measures are adequate in circumstances in which scab outfit AssetCo are the only fire cover.
