On a completely different topic, but relevant to this thread, I happened upon this today from the election of officers to BASSA in 2008.
[quote]Lizanne Malone's
track record on equality issues is second to none, she argues that "in facing down one of Britain's most aggressive employers, whether bargaining on pay and conditions or campaigning in solidarity with others, fighting back and winning is not a gender issue - it's a union issue!"
I wonder if most of us would agree that " one of Britain's most aggressive employers" has been as aggressive as her.
