Yep. I'd like a piece of that, I did post comments a while back (21/4  &
28/4) in which I touched on the importance of the political as well as the
industrial strategy. I would be interested in hearing back from people how
the political situation, the strategy of both the Liverpool Dockers and
employers in that dispute differed from the situation here.

Since there was no reaction I thought everyone must have agreed and the
matter was settled. ;-)

Unfortunately I don't subscribe to "world revolution" (did I say that?), so
can you forward it to the list? If not, can you outline the substance of
the criticism?
