17th July
Its not the first time this question has been asked but in a week when the Archers focused on work and also the week of the annual Tolpuddle Festival why was there not a signle mention of unions?
Back in the day Ambridge had union reps. Firstly Neil Carter and then Mike Tucker but in recent years nothing.
This was the week however when thanks to Oliver Sterling’s purchase of a hay baler Brad Horrabin found himself laid off a week early. At the same time Chelsea expressed discontent at her Lower Loxley job. Her ambition to be a hairdresser so far amounting to free haircuts for Call Me Russ. Meanwhile Tracey thinks her job at the chicken factory is bearable if you can have a joke with mates. Management may think otherwise.
Ambridge Socialist Editor Keith Flett said, a Unite the Union recruitment campaign is needed in Ambridge as is BBC coverage of it.
Oliver Sterling:patrician or class enemy
Oliver Sterling was back in the Archers this week,helping with the hay making. The Grundys,Ambridge’s premier proletarian family remain friendly, reliant perhaps on some funding. Elsewhere few can excuse Stirling’s role in the closure of Grey Gables and mass sackings. Whose side are you on?
