We contacted the TUC when we started out, and we humbly asked could the ABC be recognised in some way? We are not a union as we do not do collective bargaining, but recognition as a 'workers association' would have been much appreciated.
I was NOT making much progress with the gatekeeper, a lady determined I was going to be going nowhere fast - So I asked to get put through to the boss Len McCluskey, General Secretary of Unite the Union. 'I cannot do that' said the 'Moat Defender' determined not to let me get through....
'Why ever not' I said, now bristling with frustration..... 'He is too important' came back the reply..... !!
So, we had a chuckle when today, we were asked in a Tweet to support Len McCluskey in his bid to be re-elected! ‘Never forget those on the way up’, the saying goes, ‘you might meet them on the way down...’
We have yet to think of a suitable response, but it made a great story for the bar.
