Letters to the EditorUS Fan Mail
I just today read in Labour History about your effort. Very impressive and glad to see that you've got news from US via Margaret Hallock and the Pocock/Wishart study -- which I hope many more Australian trade unionists read. I enjoyed the fact that you have gone under the skin of your media. My recent 5 months visit there reinforced for me what an awful rag the SMH is and THE AGE isn't much better. Keep up the good work. Ross Rieder, Union Trainer Seattle, WA Ed: you mustn't have read the Telegraph!
