When Roger stood in 2000 he got 71,021 votes, nearly 32%.

Standing as "A fighting general secretary on a worker’s wage"
he will be standing against a leadership which is increasingly seen as
being too close to New Labour.

As Roger says:

"If members want to register a vote against the Labour Party or
want to be balloted about continued affiliation, I’m the only candidate
offering that alternative."

As secretary of the Knowsley branch, Roger has scored a major victory
over the consequences of the Single Status Agreement.

He successfully lead a strike in defence of the 35-hour week. This
resulted in a reduction of the working week for all 37-hour employees in
Knowsley.

To nominate Roger, note that he is a member of Knowsley branch, number:
1318436.
