We are in this mess because of the subsidies firms receive from the Government for employing EU migrants, they get something like £5,000 a year for two years for employing them.

I do not think that the ex Miners would appreciate that kind of statement! To have won the day all the Unions had to do was to stick together.............One out - all out!!!

I note that you do not comment on the fact that the Unions are taking government back handers to keep the members quiet!!

I note that the Unions have stood by as a body and watched 100,000s of jobs go overseas without as much as a murmur!!

I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I, could go on and on and on - but one final question..What business would stand by and watch millions ( yes millions) of subscriptions being lost for ever and a day--------without fighting to stem the tide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? - phone a member if you can find one.

P.s this is NOT personal.

In order to declare a national strike, Rule 43 of the constitution of the national union required a ballot to be held and a 55% majority majority in favour of a strike.

Scargill knew or suspected that he would not be able to win a ballot in favour of a strike on the issue of pit closures. (Two previous national ballots, the most recent in March 1983, had failed to win the required majority in favour of a strike over this very issue.) He thus devised an alternative strategy. Since Rule 41 of the union's constitution allowed the NUM national executive to declare official any strike called in one of its constituent areas, his plan was to allow the more militant constituent unions to go on strike, declare their strikes official, and then endeavour to spread these local strikes nationally.

Cabby john of course its not personal i respect your contributions and your ability to ignore some of my more direct provocation.

we could discuss much of this for years but my analysis is quite straight forward IF THE MEMBERS WHO ARE THE UNION IE ANY UNION ALLOW THIER ORGANISATION TO BE USED FOR INTERESTS OTHER THAN THOSE THEY SUPPORT THEY HAVE ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME.

The blairite grovellers within the TU movement allowed the Labour Party to renege on most promises made to the movement, many within the Unions and the Party opposed this SELL OUT unsuccessfully we are now paying once again for the treachery of both the Unions and the Party but of course they are our institutions and we need to take back control of them, that battle is well under way particularly within Unison where the leadership finally admitted defeat on a witch hunt against progressive elements within that Union this week . A similiar battle would appear to be taking place within the GMB where a web site has emerged promoting democracy within that Union ie rebuildthegmbunion.com

The election of Len McCluskey in Unite and the continuing activities of Bob Crowe in the RMT indicate to me that at last the movement is on its way to addressing the concerns and needs of its members as which you indicate may not have been the case for some time. This movement can only be successfull with people like yourself joining and presenting their views absconding n ot being involveld will only assist our enemy's ie the Con Dem vermin who are well on the way to trashing our nation whilst loading their own pockets and destroying all that we hold dear in particular the NHS where Tory supported private companies are getting their snouts in the trough.

My message never changes GET INVOLVELD OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES

ATB TT

scargill was right to promote that strike had the movement stood behind him and stopped the stinking scabs in notts the Tory Party and our enemies would have been destroyed and our nation prosperous and fair for all, but of course the stinking reactionary scum scabbed Kinnock and the tossers ran away Thatcher detroyed all what was good so today the NHS is being privatised record queues for treatment nurses sacked bankers creaming up pensioners about to make the choice FOOD or FREEZE to death record unemployment cabbies earning peanuts being murderd assaulted we could go on and on and on but the kINNOCK HEIRS the Blairite Brownite scum that paved the way for this condem [edited by admin] the pattern stretches back to Scargill and the scab scum WHO BETRAYED HIM US AND THEMSELVES :evil: :evil:

TIME TO FIGHT BACK?????????????????? MANY BELIEVE SO =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

The miners would have been 100% behind Scargill if there had been a proper vote for a national strike and he got the required majority, he knew he would fail so he sidestepped it, split the national mining community in two, set fathers against sons, brothers against brother, and caused the setting up of the UDM, plus he called a national coal strike in March 84, just as summer arrived, and with record stocks of coal being held by the NCB.....what a pillock
