Address For her union to make the path to free riding just that bit easier.

Cuts And secondly, Murray vetoed two amendments put down by the NGA and the NGA on the fight againt the anti-union laws for the TUC Women's Conference.

Fighting was finished. As appeal to Murray thought it undiplomatic to put the matter so bluntly, he argued that the Tory laws had nothing to do with women! This view is not only both nonsensical and sexist. Nobody can recall this champion of women's rights uttering a word when Ada Maddox justified the violation of the policy of her union, NALGO, involved in voting for Murray against the NGA on the grounds that as she had one of the women's seats on the TUC, she wasn't responsible to NALGO.

Nonetheless, Murray gave Murray the bums rush, even Basnett, Tuffin and Duffy got the message: if that won't wash with the Tories, what will? The decision was taken to call the February 28 Day of Action and review TUC involvement in bodies such as the National Economic Development Council (NEDC), the Manpower Services Commission (MSC) and the arbitration service, ACAS.

"Mr Len Murray's new mood of realism, heralded by the TUC leader on September last year at the Trades union Congress has lasted less than six months" declared the Guardian. "He deserved a return from the government. Instead he gets a union ban" whined John Lloyd. "This is what happens when reasonable men (sic) are kicked in the teeth " lamented Murray.

We may be permitted to say 'We told you so'. We have something to sell and were therefore still worth dealing Because the TUC's role is essentially that of broker between labour and capital, rather than that of leaders of labour against capital, it would be fatal if we simply did sit back and say 'we told you so' Murray and his friends will attempt to return to the trough as soon as they feel it expedient.

The task of the Broad Left is to build on February 28 and attempt to fill the gap between what the unions need now -leadership in the fight against the Tories - and what we have - not leaders, but appeasers.

The day of action showed the power that is there, the spirit of resistance to Thatcher that still burns.

The action was We must build stroi organisation in each uni‹ based on the interests of ti rank and file to give directi and organisation to the will fight exhibited on Februa 28. That is the best guara tee of making left leade fight.
