I’m a member of…
According to Dave Osler, I’ll soon be a member of either OneUnion, Union@work or the prosaic AmicusT&G. Dreadful, all of them. Oh well, could have been worse; amongst the rejected names were Voice, Accommodate, Spectrum and United. Given that a member of the new super-union could work in almost any sector - farming, engineering, public sector, housing association, bus, freight, manufacturing, call centres - except retail, trains and fire, what on earth is wrong with The Union of General Workers?
PS: it just occurred to me that I didn’t say which side I’m from. T&G, of course. Not that there’s anything wrong with Amicus, good Labour affiliates that they are.
