CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide celebrates its 35th anniversary

THE 35th edition of CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide, which lists the best 4,500 real ale pubs and includes detailed information on all of the 640 plus breweries in the UK, will be released on Wednesday, 12 September 2007.

The Good Beer Guide is the only pub guide which is annually surveyed by CAMRA’s beer loving membership, so the reader can be assured of the most up to date information on outstanding pubs to find a pint of real ale in the UK.

Good Beer Guide editor Roger Protz said:- “CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide is an indispensable travel companion for every discerning beer drinker and pub-goer. Each pub is inspected and researched by CAMRA’s members who have spent months finding the best 4,500 pubs for British pub lovers to enjoy.”

Mr Protz continued:- “The guide celebrates its 35th anniversary this year and this main this success is down to the surveying of the CAMRA members who keep the book fresh and up-to-date. There are over 1,200 new pub entries and more than 50 new breweries in the 2008 edition so I am pleased to say the real ale revolution goes on!”

LRD publishes employment rights guide in Polish

THE independent research and publications organisation Labour Research Department (LRD) has published its first Polish-language employment rights guide.

The 24 page guide Prawo w pracy – twoje uprawnienia (Law at work – know your rights) has been published in response to requests from trade unions for information on employment rights for their Polish members.

The guide sets out workers’ key employment rights in the UK including their right to join a trade union. It provides information on: agency workers; contracts of employment; pay; maternity leave and pay; working parents and carers; disciplinary and grievance procedures; health and safety; and discrimination.

Last year the LRD was commissioned to produce a series of workers’ rights leaflets in Polish by the GMB general union’s southern region. Several major unions expressed a need for something similar and the LRD has produced the 24 page Prawo w pracy – twoje uprawnienia (Law at work – know your rights) to meet the demand.

Prawo w pracy – twoje uprawnienia (Law at work – know your rights) is published on 10 September 2006, priced £2.90. It is available from LRD, 78 Blackfriars Road, London SE1 8HF, tel 020 7928 3649, or online.
