Has Kettle had its chips?

A recent organising campaign at Kettle Chips, a UK potato chip company, was defeated with the help of US unionbusters, The Burke Group. However, two Facebooki groups set up by concerned members of the public helped to raise the profile of the dispute, without union involvement. Guardian journalist David Hencke believes the union missed a big opportunity by not reacting quickly enough to get involved online, and has a good blog post on this at Comment Is Free.
