AN EXHIBITION honouring the life of union leader Bob Crow has been launched in Manchester.

Bob Crow, Radical Hero, which includes photos of picket lines and protest marches attended and addressed by Mr Crow, was unveiled yesterday evening at the People’s History Museum.

The RMT’s general secretary from 2002 until his untimely death in 2014, Mr Crow was widely respected for his staunch defence of workers’ wages and working conditions.

An accompanying pamphlet reproduces one of Mr Crow’s most famous lines: “If you fight, you won’t always win. But if you don’t fight, you will always lose.”

Mick Cash, who succeeded Mr Crow as RMT general secretary, said: “No-one warrants the title ‘radical hero’ more than Bob Crow, and this tribute at the People’s History Museum is just a reminder of what a giant of the trade-union movement Bob remains.

“It will serve as an inspiration to all of us carrying on the fight for economic and social justice.”
