Organising lessons from 40 years ago?

Following the death of Jimmy Reid BBC Radio Scotland repeated a programme about the work-in from 2002 - "Fighting and Winning: The Work-in At UCS". It is a blend of interviews with the leading figures from the work-in, as well arhive from the time and details from recently released cabinet papers.

Despite being a while ago - and a totally different industry - the Work-in has more than a little relevance to the situation we find ourselves in. Not least how to build unity amongst a large multi union workforce and the importance of creating alliances with the wider community.

(But even leaving all that aside the programme is a good listen.)
