Support The General Strike in Greece
Today the vast majority of the working class are on strike in Greece against the brutal austerity cuts of the new labour government there backed up by the diktats of the international monetry fund and the european union .
I believe that this is the tenth so far .
We would argue for the general strikes to be stepped up to two days at a time if the current pace is too soft and then maybe three and so on , but this should be linked to political demands that can provide a decent life for everybody such as democraticaly nationalising the banks , linked with the commanding heights of the economy , this would release the liquidity that the system is bunged up with to invest into the needs sector of the economy .
Once a section of workers have money in their pockets again they would create demand in the want section of the economy again , thereby creating an upturn !
The rich are sat on all of the wealth = massive downturn !!
Tonight there is a public meeting in Hanley , called by the NSSN , with many great trade union speakers on the platform from unions such as Unite , PCS ,CWU and so on , and there will be a very lively discussion about organising the public sector strike action against pension cuts , because remember that those pension funds are their defered wages , already earned . Cutting those defered wages is robbery !!
The working class and the poor who have been left behind by Tory Lib and New Labour administrations , in reality three wings of the same Capitalist Party , should not have to bale out this rubbish Capitalist system .
I would urge all workers and trade unionists to attend tonight's meeting , to take part in these immense decisions!
