Rix's defeat by a relatively more Right Wing candidate for the general secretary position came as a great surprise to the left wing of the trade union movement. The defeat led to a period of instability in ASLEF culminating in a brawl at a barbecue at the union's London headquarters. This resulted in a number of senior officers being removed from their positions, including Rix's successor. He was born in south yorkshire on 11/4/63 but grew up in Leeds. He has two children (a son and a daughter) who both reside in Leeds. he is involved in the justice for columbia group and does a lot of charity work. |
