Get involved!

We at libcom are planning to create a section on British Trade Unions as part of our organise section.

 http://libcom.org/organise/

We'd like to list some of the major (and minor) unions, but don't want to do so uncritically, which is where you come in.

We're looking for reviews of specific trade unions (i.e., not opinions on unions in general), to go with the listing. So any suggestions please put them here and we'll try to include them.

If anyone has any particularly interesting experiences with unions/strikes that might be suitable for a longer article, that'd be good as well.

Here's a list of them to job your memory:

Unison too are shit. Dave Prentice has his nose so far up Tony Blairs arse all he can see are a pair of butt cheeks. Despite this, Unison Health Conference recently voted for industrial action for when Bliar comes back to rob us of all our pensions. Hopefully the rank and file of the union will be strong enough to hold the executive to this, to stop the scabs and traitors selling us out again.

Fight the Power.
