She was a Print Union Baron, now a Baroness.

I bet GMB branch secretary terry does.

She was on the telly this morning, with Andrew Marr.

If she can be elevated to the House of Lords, maybe Mr Flanagan can too? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOGAT, wasn't she?

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I suspect she was a bit right wing for Tezz?

I was listening to her on the radio this week, selling her book.

She said that during the Murdoch Wapping lark she was personally offerred a solution but decided she wouldn't put it to her members. [-X

Then she bemoaned the journalists for crossing the picket line, to which one texted in to say that was because her members crossed their picket line two years previously.

Workers united. [-(

This is but one reason for my dislike of unions and union reps.

During my years as a bus driver, all, and I mean ALL the inspectors had previously been union stewards, only to become management "lickspittles" always suspicious of anyone who wants to become a shop steward.
