Around a thousand trade unionists marched thru the centre of Chelmsford in Essex in what must have been the largest such protest since the days of the Peasant Revolt!

Nov 30: Public sector day of rage

Print

By Socialist Appeal
Tuesday, 29 November 2011
Tomorrow’s Public Sector strike will be easily the biggest strike day since the General Strike of 1926. In fact far more workers will participate in the strike than on the first day of the 1926 General Strike. Schools, Government Departments, Council Depots, Offices and Health Services will grind to a halt as workers protest about massive increases in contributions and cuts to their pensions.

Minor Reduction in Fees Signals Government Weakness. No to all Fees!

News last week of 27 higher education institutions lowering their 2012/2013 tuition fees to £7500 appears to have failed to have had a great impact on students/university applicants. This could partly be put down to the lower fee still being of a similar level to those being charged by other universities; many potential students feel that they are going to be in so much debt when they leave university that £4500 will not make much difference.

Egypt: SCAF-organised elections will not satisfy aspirations of the masses

Monday, 28 November 2011
On Friday more than a million Egyptian youth, workers and poor yet again assembled in Tahrir Square. The masses have once again risen in an attempt to remove the remnants of the Mubarak regime, which are still in power. Not far from Tahrir, in Abbassiya Square, not more than a couple of thousand people gathered in a pathetic demonstration in support of the SCAF. To the sceptics who did not believe in the revolution, this should be a clear demonstration of the real balance of forces. But at the same time the revolution clearly faces obstacles, not from external forces, but in its own internal contradictions.

The concentration of power

World Economic power is being concentrated into an ever-decreasing number of huge multi-national firms, mainly financed based, according to a report published by researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. After working through data from millions of companies they concluded that just 147 companies have an iron grip on the global economy.

Editorial: Fight for a real alternative to capitalism

The 30th November day of action, for all intents and purposes a general strike of the public sector, is a turning-point in Britain. It represents a re-awakening of the working class after years of relative dormancy. Now there is a catching up with the workers in the rest of Europe, as the Coalition unleashes an austerity regime not seen for generations. Sections are being drawn into struggle who have never been involved in action before, such as head teachers - the first time they have been on strike in their union's 114-year history.

In the next few days we will know the result of the Unite ballot for strike action at balfour Beatty. It is essential we get a positive result there as Balfour Beatty was the one company (out of the seven in the JIB agreement) who brought forward their threat to cut the terms and conditions of hundreds of construction workers from March to December.

Where is China going?

By Lal Khan
Friday, 25 November 2011
After overtaking Japan, this year China became the second largest economy in the world. Some experts have even predicted that by the end of this decade China may become the largest economy bypassing the United States. However, that is based on a mechanical, empirical approach that sees China maintaining its present levels of growth uninterruptedly for years to come. In the past Japan was also supposed to keep on growing, but then its apparent meteoric rise was cut across by a long period of stagnation.
