Proud Day
By Maritime Union of Australia
The July Stopwork Meeting was a proud day for me. It was the day
I received my life membership. Most of the best people that I
have known and the best friends that I have made, have all been
or still are MUA members.
I first went to sea in the Australian Navy in 1963. That was where
I learned my trade, my seamanship. But if that was my schooling
then this union or more particularly the Seaman's Union was my
university. It was here I learned my view of the world and my
politics - firstly from the leadership which for the most part
has been outstanding, then from the pages of the journal which
has been educational and finally from the membership. What can
I say about the members but thank you comrades and keep on course.
