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)

You can't have everything...

Our friends at UNISON Anonymous, the blog which is certainly never written by paid officials of our Union, appear unimpressed with Motion 106, the Lambeth branch motion on branch funding.

Their argument is that there is a socialist principle to do with reallocating resources between branches - and this principle clearly requires yet another year of meetings before anything at all is decided.

Socialist principle.

So nothing at all to do with self-interest.

No, of course not.

Strange how much UNISONActive has to say about the conference. When I sent them an article about calling for a special conference they didn't post a word of it.
