This report follows my first post “Navigating the Compass Conference”. After the morning keynote speeches there was a choice of 16 workshops. I decided on the “An Irresistible Force? Managing globalisation” by Unions 21. Just beforehand I sneaked into the debate on Trident and took this quick picture of Labour blogger, Luke Akehurst, who was speaking in favour of Trident(on left with Jon Trickett standing).
