We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

"The Royal Mail are going to be the last people who move forward into modern times from an industrial relations point of view" - The last words given by Lord Sawyers in the Beeb's report !
[Might be worth nothing though given the British Broadcasting Corprations track record they are at least giving a wider airing of workers in struggle than even Indymeda does at times...]
Cleaners 'worth more to society' than bankers - By Martin Shankleman, Employment correspondent, BBC News http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8410489.stm ALSO http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8411494.stm
Union members at British Airways have voted to take strike action.
The industrial action will take place over 12 days from 22 December to 2 January.
This is the first walkout by British Airways cabin crew since 1997.
The action could affect up to one million air travellers.
Q&A: British Airways dispute http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8411494.stm
As usual CPGB is wrong as are the SWP leadership. The decision to call off the strike was a correct decision. Read about it here:
Postal workers force management back http://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/8338
The SWP should come out openly and inform people what happened. I think that her action in voting to accept a rotten deal was dispicable and obviously completely against what the SWP stands for. I do not have a problem with her being held to account - she needs to be. The trouble is the way the SWP leadership has dealt with it - in a behind the scenes way that does nothing except feed rumours.
It says here she resigned.
What exactly is the point of your post? Are you trying to defend the swp, in some round about way?
Maybe I'm not getting this, but as far as I can tell, in an attempt to rescue the swp from the humiliation of having one of it's members vote against it's wishes in the CWU. You tell us that Jane loftus has since been expelled for her actions (which is in many ways a far worse crime, for a supposeedly democratic organisation). I really don't know what says more about the swp as a political party. The fact that one of it's members voted against it's wishes, or the fact that ,that same member was expelled for doing such a thing.
Then again the swp leadership have always been very trigger happy when it comes to expulsions!
There is no mention of Jane Loftus having been expelled from the SWP at the link you give.
When was she expelled?
And who did the expelling?
Presumably there was some sort of process?
Jane loftus voted for the deal against the wishes of the SWP
She has now been expelled.
The SWP are ardent opponents of the sell out.
