Construction Rank and File meeting this Saturday

Trade unions in Britain have the potential to play an important role in the struggle against racism. But conservatism and class-collaborationism too often stops them from leading this charge. Appeals for ‘peace, love, and hope’ must be transformed into militant class war.

The war on Iran is producing massive radicalisation, which will exponentially increase the more this catastrophe drags on. But Britain’s trade union leaders are lagging far behind this mood – failing to provide any point of expression for the anger against the ruling class.

Labour touts the Employment Rights Act as “the biggest upgrade in workers’ rights in a generation”. In reality, the new law is full of holes. Trade unions should seize what advantages it has given them, and go on the offensive against Starmer!
