Employees at Vauxhall’s Luton factory are the latest victims of the global crisis hitting the automotive industry. With sales slowing down, jobs are being axed across the sector. Workers must demand nationalisation without compensation.
Yesterday, sixth form teachers organised in the NEU began strike action against Labour’s plans to push academisation, and to make workers pay for the crisis in schools. RCP members joined the picket lines to hear what they had to say.
As previously reported, security workers at the Natural History Museum are striking for better pay and conditions. Management is now trying to break the strike. We say: outflank the bosses’ offensive! For united, coordinated action of all museum staff!
From the construction sector to schools to the NHS, bosses are always cutting corners to make more profits. In the latest issue of The Communist, our readers in these industries expose this short-sighted race to the bottom.
Security guards from the Natural History Museum have been on strike for a real living wage, and demand to be brought in house. Our correspondent from inside the museum reports on the strike, and the impact it is having on wider layers of workers.
Security guards at King’s College London are rising up against the super-exploitative conditions imposed on them by the university bosses. The Revolutionary Communists have been involved in this struggle from the beginning.
After months of dither and delay, Labour’s flagship workers’ rights policy has finally dropped. To no one’s surprise, it is a watered-down washout. A few crumbs from the bosses’ table won’t stem the class struggle. We need a militant programme of action.
Starmer’s Labour have wasted no time in taking up the Tories’ mantle of attacking the NHS and its staff, and pushing for privatisation. We can’t trust crooks like Wes Streeting to save our NHS – we need workers’ control and socialist planning!
RCP members working in education are beginning to organise within their unions to link questions like pay, conditions, and funding to the fight against imperialism. From schools to universities, our slogan ‘Books Not Bombs’ is finding an echo.
Support staff at London universities, including cleaners and security guards, are fighting back against the exploitative practices of the employers. RCP comrades offer their full solidarity to these struggles. Workers and students: unite and fight!
Starmer’s unpopular austerity policies have forced some trade union leaders to begin offering tokenistic resistance. But to defend our class and prepare for the battles ahead, militant, fighting leadership – not class-collaboration – is needed.
Construction giant ISG has imploded, sending shockwaves across the entire sector. As ever, workers in the industry are set to foot the bill, without thousands of jobs at threat. We say: nationalise the monopolies under workers’ control!
