The heart of any trade union is its reps and activists organising
in the workplace. After years of membership decline across sectors,
a renewed recognition of this essential fact is behind the 'turn to
organising' in the union movement today. This turn to collective
organising builds strength at a local as well as a national level,
and also aids in mobilising around a wider range of political
issues from campaigning against austerity to taking action for the
environment. In recent years, this fusion of workplace organising
and national campaigning has been exemplified by Europe's largest
education trade union, the National Education Union (NEU). In
Lessons in Organising, the authors bring together activist,
academic and union official perspectives to assess the potential
(and the limitations) of the 'turn to organising' and set out the
case for a new transformative trade unionism for the 21st century.
In 'Walthamstow Central', author Ellis Sharp pushes the boundaries
of what readers have come to expect from literature. Part
other-worldly police procedural, part science fiction thriller,
part political diatribe, with these components alone the novel
would be fascinating. But more interesting is the engagement with
the artifice of the text. The lines between author and authored,
between reality and fiction, between character and history and time
are all blurred, and this technique pervades every element of the
novel.
