The one with some backbone and a bit of fire in his belly, the one who is willing to step outside his cosy world to protect his members T& c's even though the media will rubbish him. Take more than a pub dust up to silence some folks :chuckle

No contest.
Bob Crowe is a fantastic example of what a trade unionist should expect of their leader. RMT members are very fortunate to have him, railway bosses the unluckiest set of corporate w*****s today. :cuppa

As for Billy Hayes, I despair, just despair. :d'oh!

Bob Crow, top bloke. always there every year at Tolpuddle and always has time for a chat.
"why should it just be the bankers, politicians and the idle rich who get all the best things ? we demand a standard of living for our members that enables them to share in the fine wines and times that the likes of Cameron and his Eton buddies take for granted " - the late great Bob Crow RIP.

Someone that can engage other bodies that are smarter and backed up by private advisors. Crow this week acted like a child not attending conference because King would be there. "I'm not listening, I'm not listening".Yes, just the sort of figurehead you want heading the CWU then. :left:

And what did Bob miss? King saying that "it wasn't union members fault that the country was in the crapper, it was the fault of the bankers, the financiers, but, and this is a very big but, somebody has to pay, and that somebody 'aint gonna be the bankers or the financiers, that somebody is gonna be your members. Unfair, I know, but ho hum, such is life, as the famous Australian banker, Ned Kelly, said before being hanged for highway robbery, something bankers and financiers are rather good at."

If I was Bob Crow, I would have done exactly the same thing, just a pity more didn't follow his lead. :cuppa
