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)

Solidarity with the tube strikers

As it's the day of protest about local government pay (see last post) I probably won't find time to blog again before the tube strike starts this evening.

Above is a link to the locations of RMT picket lines tomorrow and Thursday. All trade unionists should visit to show support to members of the RMT and TSSA unions striking in defence of staffed ticket offices on the tube - and the thousand jobs put at risk by their planned closure.

Those readers living or working in London in will be familiar with the demonisation of tube workers generally, the RMT particularly (and their General Secretary personally)‎. The rest of the trade union movement should show our support with vigour to match the venom spat by our opponents.

Solidarity!
