Tories to cut may day

04-03-2011 08:26

Please note: whether or not you agree with my particular take on this matter, the simple fact of this article is that the coalition is attempting to scrap a historic day of working class pride and replace it with empire pride. I hope this is something that many people take as seriously as I do. We must fight for our day before it is gone forever.

Why Workers And Union Bosses Are Enemies

03-03-2011 15:08

The ongoing dispute over pay and bargaining rights in Wisconsin perfectly illustrates a major theme of my blog: the need for working people to establish organisations which are independent of the corporate unions. I've devoted an article to examining exactly why workers and union bosses are enemies before, but as the economic crisis sharpens, so do the contradictions, so it's worth a re-visit.

Climate Camp Is Dead! Where Now For Climate Action?

02-03-2011 17:02

Last night, the Camp for Climate Action released an 'official' statement, announcing that there would no climate camps either this summer or in the future. Citing the "near-collapse of the financial system; droughts in the Amazon, floods in Pakistan; a new government in the UK; a violent programme of unprecedented cuts; food prices rising and real incomes eroding; revolutions across the Middle East", the group has decided to "team up with the anti-cuts and anti-austerity movements and play a crucial role in the revolutionary times ahead". I welcome the statement, and the consensus reached at a Dorset meeting last week.

Eighth General Strike Shuts Down Half Greek Economy

25-02-2011 16:14

On Wednesday, Greek workers took part in their eighth one day general strike since 'centre-left' Prime Minister Prime Minister George Papandreou started imposing drastic cuts and attacks on working class conditions. The strike was called by the GSEE private sector union confederation, and ADEDY, its equivalent organisation in the public sector. It was the first such strike of 2011, and in line with the union bosses' token policy of calling workers out once every few months, while their colleagues in government get on with their work of destroying people's lives.
