With all the hype surrounding the Hollywood version of Margaret Thatcher
as the ‘Iron Lady’ who (supposedly) brought the miners and trade unions
to their knees, there now comes the real story of the Miners Strike of
1984 from Betty Cook and Ann Scargill, two women who not only played
their part during the strike but who now say that the events of that
historic year changed their lives forever. Socialist Appeal put
some questions to the women on the subject of their feelings about the
film and the Miners Strike of 1984 and the lessons to be learned.
Report from a meeting of UNISON Branch delegates in the North West
Region, representing members who are in the Local Government Pension
Scheme. (This included around 100 delegates from several service groups; mainly
Local Government, but also Police and Justice, Environment, Community
[voluntary sector] and Transport.)
Here is the latest news from the sparks campaign posted by Siteworker
In the next few days we will know the result of the Unite ballot for
strike action at balfour Beatty. It is essential we get a positive
result there as Balfour Beatty was the one company (out of the seven in
the JIB agreement) who brought forward their threat to cut the terms and
conditions of hundreds of construction workers from March to December.
Socialist Appeal supporters in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire
joined together with the National Justice for Mineworkers with support
from North Derbyshire NUM to organise a week long programme of
political discussions and educational events at Wortley Hall near
Sheffield.
