Green Party Trade Union Group Conference

After their excellent work supporting the University lecturers industrial action, this is a good time to be supporting the Green Party Trade Union Group conference next saturday.

This sunday of course sees the Green Revolution meeting. Are Green Parties in other parts of the world seeing the establishment of socialist platforms and trade union groups...certainly European Green Parties might benefit from moving back towards the left like the Green Party of England and Wales.
