Members of the Rail union TSSA came out on strike this week. Darrall Cozens, a former TSSA member himself, explains the background to this dispute and why your ticket matters!
In the freezing cold on Saturday December
19th members of the UNITE union from the threatened Ericsson plant
at Ansty near Coventry were out in
Coventry city centre distributing leaflets to the public as part of the
campaign to keep the plant open.
In the aftermath of the decision by the CWU leadership to call off the latest round of national action last week, there are allready signs that the deal agreed may be unravelling. We reproduce here a statement issued by Socialist Appeal supporters in the CWU on the way forward.
Over the last few months we have posted reports on strike actions involving bus workers in Northumberland, Doncaster, Manchester and Essex. Now action has arrived in the capital city itself. Bus workers in East London are out today in a dispute over wages and conditions - and the red flags are flying in Romford!
As previously reported, on 21st October Steve Acheson
appeared at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, central London. He was there because Scottish and
Southern Energy, the owners of Fiddlers Ferry power station, were seeking an
injunction against him under the Prevention of Terrorism Act!
Here are some more reports and interviews from CWU picket lines around the country as the strike enters the second day. More action has been announced for next week - things are hotting up!
Postal workers are out on a national two-day strike over management
plans in effect to destroy the Royal Mail. Picket lines are being
staged at sites up and down the country. The bosses, backed by Lord
Mandelson, who is looking to hit back at the union over his failed
attempt to privatise the mail, have refused to negioate. The time has
come for workers to show their strength
Postal workers across the UK have voted
3-1 in favour of national industrial action over Royal Mail's failure to reach
a national agreement covering the protection of jobs, pay, terms and conditions
and the cessation of managerial executive action.
Milions of workers came out on strike in defence of their pensions. This was the biggest such action for decades. The fight goes on!
