Details

A gripping history and analysis, from various cyclists themselves, of Britain's (and the world's?) first successful attempt to unionize the messenger industry. Another classic slice of (recent) syndicalist history.
"Starting a union can be exciting, risky, hard work and a right good laugh....Even when nothing seems to go right there still exists the solidarity of comradeship. It was ironic (or flattering!) that the bosses with all their money and power were so scared of our humble union."
