From Militant, No. 330, 12 November 1976, p. 2.
Transcribed by Iain Dalton.
Marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for the Encyclopaedia of Trotskyism On-Line (ETOL).
The political ideas in the paper provide the logical connections and extension to the trade union work in the hospital, particularly when campaigning against the cuts. Some of the stewards who regularly buy the paper have commented on the value of the report coming direct from the factories about the disputes going on throughout industry. Another steward finds invaluable the analyses of the state of the economy with all the facts and figures, and also the ‘lessons from labour history’ series which can arm the activist against falling into the same traps again.
The only adverse comments came from the immigrant worker who felt the paper was too orientated to Britain, and the engineer who complained that the paper concentrated too much on international events. You can’t win ’em all!
