Really excellent show

A critique of unions was put forward which I don't think looked at the reality of struggles in enough depth. Union leaders shared interests with the bosses were identified but I think that unions can also be a "weapon in the hands of the workers". Grass routes power can be built within them. This position is well articulated by Dave Douglas so I think you should invite him to put the case for unions in a debate with those arguing against them. He might also plug his new autobiography on the miners strike, where he organised the Hatfield Flying Pickets.

As for criticism of Unions I think the criticism was more about leaders and the hierarchic structure and were directed towards todays unions rather than the NUM in the miners strike though the NUM suffered from these problems too, to some extent, which I think Dave Douglas would agree with.
Can you contact Dave Douglas I'd like to interview him?
