Socialist Appeal recently published an appeal from IT workers at
Japanese-based multinational Futitsu, who have been taking strike
action up and down the country in Britain’s first ever national strike
of IT workers. The workers and their union, Unite, are incensed that
the highly-profitable IT services provider is attempting to scrap the
pension scheme and putting thousands of staff at risk of redundancy.

Striking refuse workers in Leeds have voted to return to work after nearly three
months on the picket line. The all-out industrial action, which ran from
September 7th to November 25th, was in response to savage
pay-cuts that would have slashed individual wages by thousands of pounds per
year. Workers attending a mass meeting at the suitably flamboyant Jongleurs Comedy Club voted by nearly
four to one to return to work, endorsing a deal which benefitted many workers
but raised concerns for some.

pitch black darkness of the autumn morning it was only the neon of the street
lights that reflected off the red high visibility jackets of the picketing
Royal Mail workers. Eddie Kacar reports on the mood at EDO in Whitechapel in the heart of the East End of London

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
