    The bottom line today is normal working people need the unions now more than ever
    The 'right wing gutter press' hasn't done a job on any of us....we were actually living and working in that ..... era...correct me if I'm wrong..You weren't even born.

    This 'past is past' statement. I notice it's said a lot in the Phil..............I'm afraid the past has a bearing on everything no matter how far you want bury your head in the sand. Here's another saying...'the past will come back to haunt you'......while you are pondering that I got to sleep

    Yes, I was branch secretary of the CPSA (as it was called then) when I worked for the Dept of Employment.

    That particular union ?

    I have no idea, as I wasn't privy to what went on amongst the higher echelons of its management.

    I do remember the inconvenience of missing at episode or 2 of ''family at war'' during the power cut era. ...mother had to get out grans paraffin stove. ..We'd then be treated by dad on the history of that stove. ....it was a time we came together as a family. ..just like the Walton's

    Life was a bit simpler back then. All parents had to worry about was putting food on the table.
