SLL programme: act now against the Tories

WE MUST go forward from the wages fight to the fight for the right to full employment.

The demands must be:

• No Measured-Day Work!

No speed-up!

Across-the-board wage increases without productivity strings!

Wage increases in line with the cost of living! Equal pay for women! Full support for the miners and local government workers !

The fight on wages must be used to build up the strength and confidence of the working class for the political struggle against unemployment and to bring down the Tory govern• No acceptance of redundancy! No sackings!

Reduction of hours without loss of pay!

• No factory closures!

right of the employers to a THE RIGHT TO profit. UC A I TI A ATT Sackings and closures must now be answered by the sit-in strike and occupation of the factories. This is the road to expropriation of the capitalists and control by the workers.

Unity of the employed and unemployed! The fight against unemployment must begin in the factories and trade unions.

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE AND INDEPENDENT TRADE UNIONS THE DETERMINED actions by workers in May and June 1969 forced the Labour government to withdraw its proposed anti-union laws. The Tories and the employers are now pressing ahead with their plans for legislation to shackle The Tory government intends to undermine the right to strike by attacking the benefits and income tax rebates of strikers.

They will be stopped only by mass action of the working class to force them to resign.

He gloated over the government's success in standing firm ALALIN ANU SOCIAL SERVICES THE TORIES' election promises of tax cuts for the middle classes were only a deliberate deception to justify the attacks on the rights of workers and their families in relation to the social services.

Following the Tory tradition the government intends to attack all social and health services, so that older workers, pensioners and children suffer the most.

Only a determined campaign in the factories, docks and the mines and the entire labour movement to defeat the Tory government can beat back these attacks on the welfare services.

The working class will fight against every aspect of Tory foreign policy, which is an instrument of war against the interests of the workers in other countries.

• No intervention in the Withdrawal of all troops from overseas! 'Nationalize the arms industries !

Clearly then it is by no means enough to be satisfied with the Daly finds himself talking very differently from 12 months ago, when with the Labour government in office, he favoured a turn to work for the surfacemen striking over the hours dispute, right. DEFEAT UNEMPLOY. MENT BY ACTION IN THE FACTORIES THE TUC must support the call for a one-day strike against unemployment issued by the South Shields and Kirkby Trades Councils and make this a national strike action.

Trade unionists up and down the country must prepare to support this strike whether the TUC supports the call or not.

The working class built the trade unions and the labour movement. The leadership is now in the hands of Fabian traitors and agents of the employing class.

The Labour leaders, the Labour 'lefts' and the trade union bureaucracy have shown their treacherous nature in the six years of Labour government and in collaboration with the Tories. They must be cleared out!

The fight for the independence of the trade unions from the state requires that the existing leadership of collaborators and traitors is removed and replaced by a new socialist leadership.
