dele the last atic for management-backed gation of scabs to lobby AUEW District Office week brought a dramsell-out of the struggle the reinstatement of a sacked shop stewara.
The steward, Gordon Parsons, had been actively organising for the AUEW among the employees at Milthorpe International in Wakefield, and was sacked for reporting an industrial accident to the union.
Management laid on a coach to enable a contingent of scabs to travel to the AUEW offices where union officials not only listened sympathetically to their case, but followed their advice and withdrew official backing for the strike.
The refusal of union bureaucrats even to organise workers into the unions is clearly spreading from Desoutters and Grunwick throughout the labour movement.
