London Workers Group Bulletin #1 Nov 1977 (incomplete)

Contents listed, but not included in these PDFs are: News from Kings Cross, Newspaper Workers Claim on NPA, My Job: Confessions of a Postal Worker part 1, The Fireman's Claim.
If you have access to a complete version of this edition, please let us know.

Thanks for putting these up :)
Some of these pictures border on being illegible due to blurriness (such as the article criticising syndicalism). Not sure if anything can be done about this - no worries if not.
Thanks Mair - these are the best we have for now I think. I don’t have copies myself.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that cover, which is a brutally detourned image from the UK comic 2000AD?

So good. Who's face is on Dredd's body?

Looks like Neil Kinnock, though I don't recall his hair ever looking that bouncy.
Edit, wait probably Scargill, found this photo of the two side by side,

Never noticed how much they looked alike before.
My first guess had been Livingstone but the small print says it's actually Ross Evans - not a name/face I recognised, but I suppose TUC heads aren't always the most recognisable figures? I like that the contents include "atrocious duplicating" as well.

Thanks, I could've seen that if I'd bothered to look properly. Sorry.
I have LWG Bulletin 13 and 14 (although my 14 has a big chunk missing from the cover).
I will put out feelers for the missing issues.
That would be appreciated! Thanks :)
The trade union leader whose head we appropriated was Moss Evans who at the time was General Secretary of the TGWU. How soon they forget.
'Ross Evans' was either a result of a flaw in the typewriter (probably the rather decrepit one in the basement of Rising Free), or possibly of a flaw in the London Worker doing two fingered typing on it. A couple of generations of subsequent reproduction have completely lost the bottom of what started out as a capital B, and thus spoiled the 'joke'. Moss Evans = Boss Evans. I'd like to say we were able to sustain this level of wit. Unfortunately...
