I learned yesterday that my friend and comrade, Rahul Patel, is moving on from his role as Branch Secretary of UNISON's Westminster local government branch, in which he has done much work for our Union and its members for a number of years.
The branch has a majority of its members in the private sector thanks to the obsessions of the Tory employers - and Rahul, and other branch activists, have faced unique challenges over recent years.
Rahul will be sorely missed. We could do with more such activists.

Err he cost £3 million? Could have sworn the london Weighting dispute was voted for by the members and led by an all Branch strike committee (not to mention Employed Officials) Criticism on Iran yes ( I voted against that proposal myself) but on other things get your facts right
