Picket.

 

Show Your Anger By Solidarity.

         The largest rail strike in 30 years or so and all the media can spout is inconvenience to such an such a group. Of course there will be inconvenience during a large strike, the question we should ask ourselves is, why are they on strike, and the answer is obvious, living standards. At the present time all the ordinary people in this country are suffering the biggest drop in living standards in a generation. With that comes real hardship, evictions, fuel poverty, food poverty, ill health and the lives of our kids stunted, our elderly dying earlier than they should. Mean while the rich and powerful repeat their only answer, and it is pie in the sky for you and I, “we must grow the economy”. In other words we have to suffer so that the corporate parasites can increase their profit margins, we have to suffer so that shareholders will get fat unearned bonuses. There is no “cost of living crisis”, there is an exploitation crisis. The broken, fractured, crumbling capitalist system needs to be re-capitalised, the only way the parasite class know how to do this is squeeze the public dry. You are suffering so that the corporate world can gain some capital in to the system to try and kick-start back into life, the whole rotten system, all to their advantage.
         So yes, we will be inconvenienced by the rail strike, but instead of falling for the state/corporate bullshit and fabric of illusions, join the strikers on the streets support them in your communities, show your anger at the injustice that is being heaped on you and your families. Their fight is our fight. We are all going to be hit by this latest tsunami of austerity and it repercussions, while the corporate parasites stuff their coffers with stolen capital, stolen from you and I.

Support For Royal Mail Workers.


       Subject: Bridgwater Royal Mail strike still on: solidarity needed!

Friends,
       Hours of talks on the Bridgwater Delivery Office Royal Mail dispute, that took place in London on Monday and Plymouth today, have broken down without agreement.
      This means that the three day strike starting at one minute past midnight tonight, Wednesday, is on, to continue for this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
       We are still holding a solidarity hour between 8am and 9am every morning to which we would be delighted to welcome visitors and especially other trades unionists. The picket line gets going around 5am.
       Messages of support can be sent by e-mail direct to me: any donations to the Bridgwater strike fund, which is now open, can be sent to Dave Wilshire at CWU, 20 Church Rd, Lawrence Hill, Bristol, BS5 9JA.
     Financial support is now becoming important to maintaining the excellent morale of the 110 Bridgwater strikers.
      Please make any cheques out to "CWU Bristol and District Amal" and send to the above address.
 

See you on the picket line!

The next national talks on the Bridgwater dispute between the CWU and Royal Mail are set for London on Monday.

Dave Chapple,
Shop steward/branch chair
