Letter Dissent on NALGO | IMGpapers 1976

This text was read by machine (Apple Vision OCR) from a scan of a newspaper page, and the page was cut into articles by machine, at the headlines found by their type size. Nothing has been corrected: expect misread words, text from a neighbouring article, and titles that are the machine reading of the headline, some of them only fragments. Quote from the scan, not from this page.

I WISH to dissent from the letter you published signed by NALGO members (5 July), support the perspective Burn's report on line conference, that NALGO militants should support the Nalgo Group.

My position is illustrated by recent debate in Liverpool NALGO branch, in which Nalgo Action Group supporters put forward for under the control of the rank and file win NALGO's 15 per cent pay claim, against the national executive which proposes to accept 9.4 per cent now with 'comparability' next year.

IWo of ine signatories letter, supporters of the Nalgo Left in Liverpool, motion which wild in effect leave forward any action in the executive itself. This was almost unanimously, abstention. (Could this have been Jack Meek, NALGO's president, who was present?)

The NAG motion was defeated, with Nalgo Left supporters against. A fine way to fight for class struggle policies in NALGO!
