Leaflet: Bosses' plans make the workers pay

BOSSES PLANS — MAKE THE WORKERS PAY.

"Ts it my job next?" The Tory governm— ent has managed to get this idea firmly into the minds of working people. WNot content to allow the World Recession to take its toll of jobs, Thatcher and Co. have deliberately set out to increase unemployment; interest rates, cuts ctce

In no way can the 2 million unemployed be put down to the "Mad Axewoman" or loony Keith Joseph. No, the policies of the Tories have been carefully worked out and are perfectly SANE when viewed from the position of the Ruling Class. They are hoping that they can use the recession to chenge the fece of British

industry, end most importantly "Industr—.

icl Relations."

Outdated and antiguated factories and plants are being allowed to go to the wall, regerdless of workers' jobs. The Employment: Act and Codes on Picketing have been brought in to deal with any effective action against their pollicies. The Bosses are determined to make workers pay for the crises in their system.

Beware YOUR LEADERS. ; The fightback against these attacks has to be organised NOW amongst rank and filic workers. The T.U.C. has shown at Brighton, that despite fine words they are incapable of organising eny effective action against the bosses planse They would much rather return to the days of Beer and sandwiches at No. 10. On ou doorsteps in Reading we cam sce the dangers that face us if we relly on the Bureaucrats to Icad our struggles. At Adwest: over 50 T&t.W.U. and A.U.E.Y. members came out on strike over 4 months ago, in support of a fellow worker who was Victimised by management. Though the strikers were given very cncouraging noises from the local union fulli-timers at the start of the strike, it is still unofficial .. The Reading Trades Union Council As also donc cbsolutely nothing. At thoir

last meeting, whilst ignoring the Adwest strike they spent their time discussing whtt could be done to support a month of ection in November against the attacks on Trade Unionists. All this when the Adwest strikers have been refused the right to picket; when almost 50 pickcts have been arrested facing fines of £150.

A PROGRAM TO WIN.

Renk and file militants must organise inside the unions to force the umions to fight for the defence of every job. Against the Bosses full scale war on all our jobs we must respond with a program that defends our needs:-

WORK Or FULL PAY. We must demand a guearanteed job or income regardless of the financial plight of any of the: bosses, bankrupt or solvent. We wont pey for their crises.

CUT THE HOURS NOT THE JOBS. For the 35hr week now with no loss of pay. For workers control of hours worked end for the shering of all evaileble work between the whole workforce.

FOR WORKERS CONTROL OF HIRING, FIRING AND

WORK RATE. For trade union registration

BEWARE DIVERSIONS

Workers Power will be fighting for this program against the inactivity of the bureaucrats and the “little englendism" of the Labour lefts and the Communist Perty with their demands for import cont~ rols. Aliso against the "Right to Work Campaign" which, under the control of tha Socialist Workers Party, cannot spearhecd the fightback against Unemployment and the fight to get rid of Capitalisme However, the march they have organised from South Wales to the Tory Party conference will provide a focus around which militants can begin to hammer out the policies and organisation which will be necded to face up to the Bosses' plans.

Workers: Power asks all militants to join with us in the fight for the above progran. Support. the Right to Work Merchers and attend the PUBLIC MEETING called by the Reading Labour Partics and the Trades Council. OCT.2nd 7.30pm Old Town Hall, Friar St., Reading.
