The dispute over union recognition began following moves over the previous few months by a majority of the workforce to join the TGWU.

Though union organisation had until then been unknown, management refused to have any dealings with the union representatives on the grounds that there was a national 'agreement' with USDAW, the shopworkers union.

The warehouse is the distribution centre for the com company's whole retail operation which spans wide area of the country.

As well as attempting to get supplies to the firm cut off at source, the strikers are also organising pickets of the shops themselves.

Already pickets have been mounted at branches in Leamington, Coventry, Oxford and Northampton, but support from local trade unionists is required to maintain this action.

Pledges

Stewards must press to ensure that these pledges of support are turned into practical action.

And the campaign must be turned on to the offensive, with the demand for the reopen. ing of the axed casualty wing and theatres, rather than simply defending empty wards and unused equipment.

Already the threat of action has forced a concession from minister Roland Moyle who has announced he will 'look again' at the twisted 'facts' and figures drawn up to justify the run-down of Bethnal Green.

An all-London health unions stewards' conference-as called for recently by a Tower Hamlets JSSC delegate conference-must be convened as soon as possible to discuss the extension of this fight throughout the East End and the London hospitals as a whole.
