BALPA against ID Cards - TUC Congress

[call100]

One of Hitler's methods of controlling the German citizenry was mandatory national I.D. cards. No one could obtain work, food or travel without such cards and by means of the information on them, those who were socially unfit for the new German state could be easily identified and eliminated.


The TUC Congress voted overwhelmingly to support BALPA's motion today. Although I must say the spokesman didn't give the best arguments against. Instead this was given by the seconder from Prospect. It was passed despite a disapointing speech by the GMB representative.
Hopefully, now we can begin organising with a bit more bite at individual airports and affected companies.

To those of you who think you have nothing to hide...I hope you are right...Forever...
