Anti-union laws highlights

  • Trade unions / Communist work in the trade unions

    Our role is not to take over the bureaucracies but to bring a class-conscious understanding and programme to rank-and-file militants.

    30 Apr 2025 ,
  • Trade unions / TUC launches fake ‘campaign to defend the right to strike’

    A campaign most workers are unaware of, aimed not at overturning anti-worker legislation but at garnering votes for the perfidious Labour party.

    26 Jan 2024 , Proletarian
  • France / Upholding anti-imperialist struggle under the flag of the Platform, herein lies our hope

    French communists host international meeting to discuss the present crisis and the way forward.

    21 Oct 2023 , Platform News
  • Civil liberties / Public Order Act: latest anti-worker legislation to outlaw protests and strikes

    Human rights in Britain? What human rights?

    11 Jul 2023 , Lalkar

  • Trade unions / Model motion: Defy the anti-trade union laws

    Within the current legal framework, workers’ right to strike in Britain has been all but annulled. This situation must be reversed by means of collective action.

    4 Jun 2023 ,
  • Trade unions / Model motion: Break the link with Labour

    The essential precondition for a successful struggle for decent pay is that our unions must break their connection with the imperialist Labour party.

    3 Jun 2023 ,
  • Trade unions / Defy the anti-trade union laws!

    It is time we turned the struggle for decent wages into a struggle for socialism.

    22 May 2023 , Proletarian
  • Trade unions / The real trade union barons

    Having been absorbed into the fabric of the state machine, most trade union leaders now work not to aid but to suppress their members’ struggles.

    20 May 2023 , Class Consciousness Project
  • Trade unions / NHS pay offer exposes the limitations of trade unionism

  • Trade unions / TUC directs its members’ anger into more meaningless busywork

    30 Jan 2023 , Proletarian
  • Capitalist crisis / Capitalists are causing inflation, not workers!

    It’s time for the hoary old myth about wages causing inflation to be put to bed. Higher wages lead to lower profits, hence the bosses’ opposition.

    29 Jan 2023 ,
  • Civil liberties / Minimum Service Bill is the latest salvo in the class war against workers

    No cooperation with union-busting anti-strike laws! 

    27 Jan 2023 , Proletarian

    Workers have a right to their deferred wages in retirement and to a dignified old age after a lifetime of work.

    27 Jan 2020 ,

    Railway bosses have abandoned the deal that was struck a year ago and are refusing to restart talks without preconditions.

    9 Jan 2020 , Proletarian
  • Disputes / Royal Mail: high court bans the strike

    For how long will we accept the right of bosses’ courts to decide how workers’ organisations are run?

    26 Nov 2019 , Proletarian
  • Society / Meaningful employment is a right for all

    Useful work well done for collective benefit brings personal fulfilment. A society that can't provide such work to its members is not fit for purpose.

    28 Oct 2018 ,
  • British politics / Theresa May’s election U-turn

    Proposed new laws to curb strike action by key public-sector workers were hastily ditched as Corbyn's popularity rose during the election campaign.
