Action A Socialist Paper - Published in the Interests of Working People next decade. They'Il have a drastic February 1980 * A decent living standard.
British steel workers were offered a humiliating 4% at a time when inflation is running at 17% (and estimated to reach 20% by the end of the year). To accept the offer would mean a cut in real wages. * The right to Work. At the same time as the humiliating offer was made, Villiers (BSC Chairman) announced that almost 60,000 jobs would have to go to make the industry profitable'. To accept the offer would mean allowing the bosses to solve their crisis by throwing thousands on the dole * Democratic rights. The steelworkers have defended their case by picketing private steel companies and drawing in the support of dockers, miners and railwaymen. This "secondary picketing (as it is called)
is in direct defiance of the Tories attempts to muzzle the unions. ....AND HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT IT * Stop steel moving. Make the strike solid in the private sector, get dockers and railwaymen to refuse to touch it. * Organise a meeting in your workplace to raise donations for the steel strike. * Pass resolutions in your union/Labour Party branch supporting the steel strike and calling on the Labour leaders to give it their full backing.
