Jack Jones RIP

Jack Jones Trade Union Leader & pension campaigner has died.
Sorry if this is too political for some members but in his retirement Jack worked tirelessly on pensioner issues.

I knew him for many years when I was active in the union movement in the UK and after his retirement, got to know him and Evelyn even better. He was a regulkar visitor to the LSE when I was a mature student there and I was pleased to introduce him several times at meetings and at events in the academic Industrial Relations Dept there.

Great guy, greatly principled and so gentle.
