ReferenceTAPE/330
Date
01/02/1981
Scope and ContentMick and Sid Jenkins, Hilda Dutson, Wilf Gray, Bill Abbott, Frank Morgan, Eddie and Ruth Frow having a discussion about the AEU
and other matters.
The tape starts with a discussion about a "riot", and addresses the police's attitude to unemployed marches. The discussion involves numerous people, and each reminisces with anecdotes involving the police and how they were used for political purposes.
The 1932 Trades Council march about unemployment went ahead, because the Trades Council marches were too well established for the police to attack or split up.
The discussion moves over many topics, even into electoral voting procedure within unions - should people who do not take an active part in their unions be entitled to vote? One speaker gives an anecdote about voting discrepancy and corruption within a union. Hugh Scanlon's personality is discussed at some length.
Side 2 is empty.
