The Greater London Association of Trades Councils (GLATC) expelled three trades councillors at its meeting last Saturday: Mike Knowles (Secretary, Hackney), Gerry MeMorrow (Hackney) and Rosemary Sales (Barnet). This follows their expulsion from the GLATC visit to Belfast in July, and their subsequent vigorous campaign in the London labour movement against this.

An emergency resolution condemning the expulsions was passed the following day at the national delegate conference or me troops out Movement. It called on trade unionists in the Greater London area to pass resolutions protesting againto fight to reverse this decision.

The emergency resolution also called on traue umon branches to invite a rep resentauve or me unree to address a meeting on this issue; and trade union branches and trades councils outside London are being asked to protest about the expulSiOns o me Iuc Red Weekly appeals to its readers to support this call. Next week we will carry a full report and analysis of the TOM conference.
