well said fellow iww worker as a member of the Socialist Party(Miltant) for over 20 years i have many disagrements with the SWP on princibles tactics and how they orgainise but lets be clear who our enemys are brown leighton crozier and sections of the leadership which do need pulled up we must retain unity of the left on thing i would add is the role of "post worker" which has said little during the dispute and shows the lack of a left orgianiseation among postal workers and a paper is not enough we need a left grouping to end the north/south split and let the members vote on princibles and on peoples records

[IWW Fellow Worker]

I'm not left wing mate! I'll leave that to you people, but we have maintained a level of unity throughout this dispute and I'm all for a bit of debate on things, but this lad is s**t stirrer who has popped up on a variety of anti-capitalist message boards over the years.

Cheers "comrade" you may not be on the "left" but if you are willing to stand up and fight then these are the type of posties which need to work togther so we have a leadership to be proud of

I have to fundamently disagree with this view. I have found the SWP to be nothing but supportive of the average postman during this dispute.
They have helped boost morale with the pictures of the picket lines and at times kept us better informed then our own union.

All i can say is well done swp.
