at shop stewards' meetings. We contacted the cation Project, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, the ENCE the ordinary British school population was left-handed, the proportion rose to 12% in special schools for the "mental defectives"
Whether these statistics were accurate or not, this was at a time when lefthanders were routinely forced to write with their right hands at school, perhaps also being told that left-handers were cackhanded and stupid.
Handedness is a phenomenon controlled by the brain, so what do we know about the brain which could explain it?
The two halves of the human brain, while appearing identical, have differing functions. The left (dominant) half controls South African Congress of Trade Unions - we were always closely in contact with them - and the International Confederation Les movement and sensation on the right side of the body (and vice-versa) - it also specialises in reasoning, logic, mathematics, reading, writing, language and analytical skills, while the right side specialises in creative and visual processes.
It might be easier to understand left-handedness if right-handers had left-dominant brains and vice-versa. But there is no link at all between left-right dominance and handedness - the vast majority of left and right handers being left dominant.
So what causes handedness? There are no detéctable physical differences bętween the brains of leftThe National Executive consulted with Anti-Apartheid and they told us that such visits would be dangerous. They said that we wouldn't be able to meet the trade union there; that if we went to the homelands we would risk being arrested; and that' if a trade union sent delegates over the media would use it to say - look, we've got links with British unions so that things are OK here.

No, I'm not totally opposed to visits.
Did you know that other visits had taken place, by shop stewards from BL and AE for instance?
No. We were never in-
