Ernie Roberts, assistant general secretary of the AEU, will deal with the trade unions. Geoff Carlsson, an AEU shop steward, will talk on the role of the steward. The final contribution will be from Ken Coates of International Socialist Journal and The Week, on "The State", The list is not yet complete.
