THIS weekend RMT young members from across Britain are gathering in Hastings for our union’s annual young members’ conference.
Hastings is a fitting venue for a meeting of trade unionists. It was of course, the model for the town of “Mugsborough” in Robert Tressell’s classic socialist novel, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
As our young trade union members gather to debate the issues most important to them, it is a salutary reminder that those who have the most at stake in the current trade union battles over the Tory cost-of-greed crisis are young people.
