AlistairUK Big Mick's organizing drive results (35) RE: Big Mick's organizing drive results 08 Apr 99


See this is the problem. I was inspired by the likes of Joe Hill and the people of the british union movements. I've always felt that in some cases, union power (which was basically hamstrung in the 80's by Adolf Thatcher) is one of the greatest things in the world. I perfectly realise that it was the reformers from the grassroots of unionism that got me all my rights when I lived in the UK. I regard Mick as a stout fellow and a throwback to what the union is all about. The trouble is that these types are getting rarer and rarer within the unions. I have never, I repeat never would belittle those involved in union organisation at grassroots level, just that those that drive the wagon tend not to hear what the engine is saying.
