ALL NUM MEMBERS should vote for strike action, even though I believe we are five or six years late one hak in are this action. It ought to : been taken when the first pit was closed on economic grounds.
It is only through weak leadership that we have dropped so far down the wages table.
If the ballot goes against strike action, it will be welcomed as a way out by our Young Pioneers at the age of 11.

If the vote for strike action is not won, we must start at local level and build new action committees to oust our right-wing leaders. These men must seek reelection every five years.

You can't move a wheel in this country if the trade unions stop - 1926 proved that.
The Tory conference is a declaration of war on the working class. The people who live by interest, rent and profit were there.
They have chosen the municipal workers as their first victims and the miners next—with Robens as their yes-man.
Robens says 20,000 men will lose their jobs. But he has destroyed more towns and villages in this country than Oliver Cromwell.
Let him come to Kellingley - there's hardly a man there who hasn't been driven out of his home and community. But we are not accepting it any more. THE CASE of Italian anarchist Giuseppe Pinelli's death, officially shelved as 'suicide' by a judicial inquiry, is being reopened in a new legal battle.
