Response to 'being realistic in struggle'

Reading the Gregor Gall article reminded me of this year's important update of UNISON's industrial action handbook which includes:

- an overview of the law on industrial action

- the impact of industrial action on workers rights

- internal UNISON processes and procedures at branch and national levels

- advice on organising strikes including strike pay procedures

- guidelines on picketing

It is an excellent resource for branches moving towards or taking industrial action and provides a framework for the rigorous assessment and strategic approach advocated by Gregor Gall. http://www.unison.org.uk/efocus/news_view.asp?did=5289
