We did try very hard to get a representative of UCATT to speak in that workshop, but it didn't workout.<BR/><BR/>For the record there were about 300 delegates on the day (just over 200 advance bookings were made). Most of the British Trade Unions had at least one delegate, though it must be admited that the biggest representation came from unions like Unison, NUT and UCU.
