CWU general secretary Billy Hayes and Paul Routledge of this publication were mobbed by a family as they recorded a video piece for Congress TV on the Liverpool waterfront. Seeing the camera, they asked Mr Hayes for his autograph and asked if he was a celebrity. When he explained that he was a trade unionist, their interest waned. An index, Mr Routledge observed ruefully, of the public’s indifference to unions today. Don’t they watch CWU TV?
