TUC Congress met this week. Attention was focussed on the looming threat of mass unemployment. The labour movement leaders are appealing to the bosses to work together. Instead, they should fight for a socialist alternative.
It is with enormous sadness that we must inform readers of the passing away of comrade Ron Graves – a stalwart of socialism; a dedicated labour movement activist; and a lifelong supporter of the Marxist tendency. Rest in power, Ron.
