POINTS OF DISORDER #1

SHACKLED trade unions help explain why BAE workers don’t refuse to make weapons sold to a brutal Saudi Arabian regime to murder innocent Yemenis.

Tears moistened my eyes watching Nae Pasaran, an inspiring new film about heroic working class Scots in an East Kilbride Rolls-Royce plant who in 1974 refused to repair engines so Chilean fascist Augusto Pinochet’s Hawker Hunter bombers could kill people like them.

Rolls-Royce veterans accept anti-union laws mean in 2018 BAE’s workforce could be sued and sacked. Weaker trade unions diminish us all.
