Why is it illegal to burn a Koran but fine for pro-Hamas protesters to destroy a Union Flag? Why is one a "public order offence" and the other not? Because in two-tier Britain the one rule is that you can't upset Muslims.

electricians victory

category national | worker & community struggles and protests | news report author Wednesday June 09, 2004 13:57author by john throne - labors militant voiceauthor email loughfinn at aol dot com Report this post to the editors

It is my understanding that the electricians have won all of their claim.

Some weeks ago I put a piece on indymedia about the electricians voting 95% to take action on their claim for better pay and against the threat of attacks from the employers. Since that time it is my understanding that the electricians have won all of their claim. That the bosses have been forced to back down. They have been defeated. This is a victory for all workers and opens the door to the possibility of a more generalized offensive for all working people.

But I have a couple of questions. Why is there not more recognition of this victory. All the anti capitalist groups that use indymedia seem to be either unaware of this victory or see it as having no relevance. What about the worker activists groups and activists, why is this victory not being made public knowledge and used to lay the basis for a more generalised discussion and organizing drive against the bosses. In the case of the anti capitalist groups are we seeing that there is not an orientation to the working class? In the case of the workers activist groups are we seeing that these are too much based in their own specific areas rather than having an over all view.

I would be interested in a discussion on this. Whatever the reasons, when a group of workers, votes 95% to strike, forces the bosses to concede all their claim and this is not a central topic of discussion and the basis for increasing the struggle against the bosses, then there is something wrong. I hope we can have a discussion on this. John Throne.
