medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Laura's reply makes me hasten to say that I have been a union member
since I arrived in England, and that I have regularly encouraged
others to join (especially now). The University and College Union
(UCU), which has existed in its present form only for about four
years or so, is going from strength to strength. My 'negative'
comment has more to do with: a) the long way it has still to go (in a
country where mainstream opinion is largely opposed to unions), and
b) the poor 'support' that is often given to the UCU by non-members.
Solidarity, George
