Submitted on

Paul Hampton reports on the AWL 2007 annual conference

AWL CONFERENCE 19-20 MAY 2007: SUMMARY OF DECISIONS
Assessment and orientation: "everything depends on our ability to act as Marxist educators" (document 1.0)
Submitted on
1. The assessment we made in our long document last year on "Building a Marxist presence in the unions" remains cruelly true.
"Public sector alliance" (document 1.1)
Submitted on
1. In 2005, long before the public sector unions formal retreat on retirement age, we identified the need, within our very limited resources, to propagandise and agitate for a cross public sector rank and file movement in counter-position to the likely Alliance of Bureaucrats for a Deal with New Labour.
