We are now shown #spycops HN45's report from January 1971 again. Which includes a great amount of detail about the organisational plans of the Women's Liberation Front and that they were members of SOGAT.
The union was not called SOGAT until 1985. When was this report written?
The union was not called SOGAT until 1985. When was this report written?
The Society of Graphical and Allied Trades (SOGAT) was formed in 1972 after the breakdown of the attempted amalgamation process between the National Union of Printing, Bookbinding and Paper Workers and the National Society of Operative Printers and Assistants.
Though it wasn't until 1982 that it fully merged, the name SOGAT was in use in 1972. Though not in 1971 when this report is dated from.
Though Diane's memory of the use of the term SOGAT is slightly out, it is completely true that in 1971 it would have been the NUPBPW or NATSOPA.
