We can assume that with rising unemployment and cost of living rising, most people that have a job will try to hold onto that pay packet. So imagine that your are punctual, your work output is above what is expected of you, and your disciplinary record is clean, you would feel that your job is secure. Well not necessarily so, you may have taken part in some union activity in the past and your name might be on a blacklist that you know nothing about. Employers pay big money to gain access to an illegal blacklist and hire and fire according to who is on the list. This is happening all over the country and recent cases have come to light at the London Olympic site. Workers have been fired, harassed and threatened on the strength of this secret and illegal blacklist. You can read the full story HERE.
Today, Tuesday 1st March, there was a demonstration at Pudding Lane DLR against this victimisation and secret blacklists.
This is just one more piece of evidence that the class war is in full swing as far as the employers are concerned. They will try to neutralise any individual that they think might stand up for their rights, there aim is to have a subservient workforce with no organised defence against attacks on their conditions. Giving them a free hand in hacking away at what they see as an impediment to their profits. Things like health and safety, wage rates and overtime rates, all these are seen as lost profit to them.
The only answer is for us, the ordinary people to see the situation we live under for what it really is, total class war. Your working conditions and living standards are constantly under attack in the name of profit for the greedy pampered parasites that try to control every aspect of our lives. It doesn't have to be that way, there are alternatives, think anarchism.
