Make Bosses Pay: Why We Need Unions
by Eve Livingston
Pluto Press £9.99
THE need for trade unions in both British society and beyond is not a concept that will be far from the mind of many, if any, Morning Star readers.
Unfortunately for us all, not every worker in Britain is yet a dues-paying union member so may need a wee push to see the benefits of organised labour.
That is where Eve Livingston comes in. Some of you may recognise the name, with the author having deputised for the paper in Scotland on occasion in recent years.
