There does come a time when the workers here need to assert themselves and take back what is rightfully their's. The anti-austerity march yesterday was the start or perhaps should be the start of something that we can build upon. Everyone from trade unions to single parents to unemployed to travellers groups all got out and showed their displeasure with the current situation and the need to fight back. On the back of the sentiment at the moment we should be calling for an all out general strike.
Following on from Irish Revolutions suggestion on twitter I would ask people to start supporting a general strike with the hashtag #generalstrike on twitter and get it trending. Once we have support for a general strike we can look into organising a date perhaps in January . Grassroots movements such as community organisations and unions work to have their members mobilised and staff do not attend work. On Monday there will be a motion at my unions AGM calling for a general strike and would urge anyone else in the same position to do the same. Regardless of political affiliation there is nothing employers can do if whole work places down tools and fight as one unit to battle against the cuts being imposed on us by this government, we have to fight or continue to struggle going from one week to the next , pay packet to pay packet. Some of you have already been driven out of your homeland, your parents and families, your kids and friends. A lot of us are struggling to make ends meet and what for? Our indifference will lead to our downfall.
Here is what to do.
- Use the hashtag #generalstrike to call for a general strike
- Link to this thread
- Raise the issue with unions and at your agms
- Get local communities involved.
We need to fight this. If you are in anyway critical at least make it constructive
Update:Union will not support the using of money ear marked for delegates expenses for CAHWT. No motion for general strike....
FIGHT THE ESTABLISHMENT...
