		The TGWU is to respond to this framework by 1 April 2005.
		SPT writes to TGWU saying it is happy to accept a return to the pre-strike off-duty rosters but can't accept a return to the old holiday rosters as this would lead to staff shortages and disruption to passengers.
		After rejecting the pay deal the TGWU informs SPT that its members will start an indefinite series of one day stoppages on Thursday 7 April 2005 and every Thursday after that until their expectations are met.

	Guardian \| Inquiry into rigging of TGWU vote
		In an official complaint Mr Elsby, a TGWU assistant general secretary and a contender for the politically influential £80,000-a-year post, names individuals and branches in letters sent to the certification officer, Whitehall's union watchdog and Mr Morris, who retires this summer.
		The 850,000-strong TGWU is part of the fabric of the Labour party and counts among its members Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
		TGWU elections have been marred in the past by ballot-rigging; a poll for the general secretary's job had to be re-run in the 1980s and rigging was uncovered in elections for the governing executive in the 1990s.

	Docks: Breakaway and Unofficial Movements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The complete refusal of the TGWU to support the dockworkers’ struggles and the collaboration of the union in the management of the industry (through the Dock Labour Boards) encouraged within the ranks of the men the idea of forming or joining an alternative union.
		Confronted by an unyielding group of employers acting in conjunction with the TGWU (who saw the situation as affording them an ideal opportunity to squeeze the tiny "blue" union off the London docks) Barrett, a man long schooled in the politics of manoeuvre, seized on the request of the Hull men.
		The northern dockers, denied strike pay, repeatedly stabbed in the back by their official leaderships, unsupported by the London TGWU members and rapidly losing the support of the "white" union men in the northern ports, were eventually compelled to return to work.

		The TGWU explains that the dockers' repeated call for "reinstatement" is no longer to be interpreted as reinstatement by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company who insist on contracting out all dock labour.
		TGWU National Docks Officer Graham Stevenson, who took up his post last Autumn and has played a key role in recent TGWU liaison with the International Transportworkers Federation, led the media presentation.
		TGWU Deputy General Secretary Jack Adams declared that while the union retained the option of holding a secret ballot, the "ultimate offer" tabled by MDHC in December did not provide sufficient jobs to justify re-balloting.

		An outline of the functions of the TGWU RSR was prepared by the TGWU and agreed with the HSE.
		Although the TGWU RSRs are reimbursed for their loss of earnings, travel and subsistence, the degree of personal commitment required to, for example, negotiate for time-off from their normal employment, or give up their own time to investigate hazards in someone else’s workplace is considerable.
		The TGWU recognises that representation through farm workers is preferable, but is at the same time is conscious of the pressures that this places upon the individual.

		In that context, we have had to be particularly mindful of protecting the future of the 1,000 TGWU members still employed by MDHC and not involved in the present dispute.
		Despite all of this, the TGWU has worked closely with the shop stewards and insisted that they be involved in all the talks to find a negotiated settlement to the dispute.
		That is why the TGWU has put so much effort into working for an acceptable agreement aimed at ending a dispute which has damaged the Liverpool docks and the whole Merseyside community, as well as the interests of our unjustly dismissed members.

	Politics \| Reclaim Labour, TGWU tells unions
		It was a veiled rebuke to the rail workers' leader, Bob Crow, who this week cut his union's donations to the party over what he termed the "war criminals" of Mr Blair's cabinet.
		As Mr Woodley spoke, Ian McCartney, a former TGWU official who sits in the cabinet as party chairman, told the Guardian that the "war criminals" language would serve to remind most trade unionists only of the "unacceptable face of trade unionism" that former leader Neil Kinnock drove from the party 20 years ago.
		Mr McCartney was at the TGWU biennial conference in Brighton, appealing for a "realistic" relationship, when Mr Woodley received a standing ovation after adding to Tony Blair's woes by vowing to take a much tougher line than his newly knighted predecessor, Sir Bill Morris.

		The dockers attitude to the TGWU leadership swung between strident criticism and a refusal to speak out, both from loyalty and the fear of losing what little support they were getting.
		The dockers and their supporters in the TGWU organised resolutions to the General Executive Committee condemning Morris and calling for the conference policy to be implemented.
		If Morris and the TGWU had made a stand by making the dockers' strike official and campaigning widely for support, this could have led to the defeat of the anti-union laws.

	Leading Irish Officials suspended by Transport and General Workers Union
		We urge all TGWU members in Britain and Ireland to take up this issue and demand the reinstatement of the two suspended officials.
		We demand that the TGWU leadership perform the functions for which they were elected, as we have always done in Ireland - i.e.
		We appeal to the membership of the TGWU in the whole of Britain to back us and demand the immediate rescinding of these unjust measures which, we believe, establish a dangerous precedent for our union and place a question mark over trade union democracy.

		Improving child safety in agriculture is a major strategic aim of the TGWU, and one that it shares with regulators, employers and other stakeholders.
		Further information on the work of the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU) can be found at: http://www.tgwu.org.uk Since the TGWU was formed, one of its goals has been to secure greater protection for children on farms.
		In addition, the TGWU wants to see the rural and farming culture shift so that farms stop being regarded as an extension of the home and, by association, a fit place for children to be.

	Glad to be groovy at TGWU conference :: The Socialist 5 July 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		BILL MORRIS' final speech at the TGWU conference, as outgoing general secretary, was notable for an outrageous attack on socialists.
		His speech was flagged in the press as demanding "value for money" from Labour and he acknowledged that the "word on the street" was in favour of a review of the relationship with the Labour Party.
		To equate socialists, who have left the Labour Party in disgust at Blair and Co's pro-business policies, with the Tories is an outrageous slur.

	The Socialist Issue 213
		TGWU conference: BILL MORRIS, the TGWU general secretary has been quoted in the press as saying that the union will financially support the Liberal Democrats.
		This is why at the TGWU conference, motion 282 and the amendment on the funding of the Labour Party, should be supported.
		When a TGWU official finally came to meet them, he said he had been contacted by the management and asked to repudiate the action and of course, the law being what it is, the union had to be very careful.

		This is the heart of the union and where the TGWU can become a member-led union once more.
		The issue that will undoubtedly dominate the conference is the possible merger with Amicus and the GMB, which is being enthusiastically promoted by the leadership.

	The battle for the leadership of the TGWU
		Last year during negotiations, which he conducted on behalf of the TGWU local authority manual workers, he boasted that the settlement he was negotiating would 'make the employers choke on their cornflakes'.
		Already it is clear that many TGWU branches are recommending a vote for Morris; the majority of the union's regions are backing him, but it would be stupid to assume from this that Morris will win, for there are serious problems that need to be overcome.
		In the 1970s Jack Jones, leader of the TGWU, was regarded by the ruling class as the bogeyman of the trade union left.

	TGWU Recruit Scabs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It’s with our deep concern and disgust that we have to report, that at a National Docks and Waterways Committee of the Transport and General Workers Union, held on July 20th 1999, members were informed that the union, had started to recruited scab labour from the Port of Liverpool.
		This follows an earlier decision by the TGWU to recruit similar scab labour from Magnet Kitchens whose two year dispute ended in defeat when that workforce was also replaced by anti-union, strike-breaking labour.
		These developments are not just an insult to the Liverpool Dockworkers, their families and supporters but to all trade unionists both nationally and internationally who have fought so hard against anti-union agencies being allowed into their places of work.

		Both unions are remaining tight-lipped about the merger rumours, but one insider pointed out to the BBC News website that "nobody is denying suggestions a merger could be on the agenda" when the two unions' executives hold their meetings on Wednesday.

		The main story behind the election of Tony Woodley as the new TGWU general secretary is that it came as little surprise to anyone.
		Even Jack Dromey, standing against Woodley, lurched to the left during the campaign, but the TGWU members aren't daft; they remembered he was the Blair-backed candidate last time round.
		Even less surprising than the result, however, were the predictable horror stories in some sections of the press about what a Woodley-led union would mean for the country.
