Neale's Spot On!


Dear Editor

Congratulations to Neale Towart on his article about the need for a changed approach to unionism in the 2000s. Perhaps this quote might support his argument: "The greatest advances are made when, having accepted the tradition, you have the courage to break it." (Sherlock, C. 1992, 'Eye of the Cobra' Heinemann, Great Britain.) Perhaps we do not want to break the tradition but we certainly do need to modify our approach.

Many thanks for the excellent information your publication provides.
