Last Saturday in Manchester at the North West rank and file meeting 100 sparks and supporters discussed, debated then decided what next . And, despite the efforts of a unite official, the meeting elected its own North West committee to plan and organise action in Manchester and Liverpool area. £281.27 was collected for siteworker.
