Re: It Could be Today !!
I can say without hesitation that book more than any other book changed my life. I remember so clearly a young man that used to stock up the kitchen in my place of work in the 1980s, handed me his beat up copy and told me to keep it. He was the son of a trade unionist. It is still on my bookshelf.Re: It Could be Today !!
Your comment made me snigger out loud!Re: It Could be Today !!
Oh my goodness - I just looked down the list of this particular thread and I posted exactly the same, that the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists changed my life. I'd completely forgotten I'd posted back in 2013. So even after 3 years the book still has an impact.Re: It Could be Today !!
Re: It Could be Today !!
It was a book that my father said I should read and remember, he was an active Trade Unionist and put others first at times to his own detriment. But he made a great impression on me and I followed in his footsteps in regards to becoming an active Trade Unionist and like him at times it was also to my own detriment, however I always slept easy and was proud to have helped and served others and believe that in my own small way contributed to improving working conditions.
