Build union power

Trade unions are the basic self-defence organisations of the working class. REVOLUTION supports trade unions and organising drives to build up the power of the workers.
Abolish all anti-union laws.

For the legal right to strike and right to organise.

All employers to recognise unions.

But bureaucratic union leaders get higher wages than their members and owe their position to a permanent cycle of negotiation and compromise with capitalists. They often sell out the workers in return for deals with capitalists.

REVOLUTION calls on workers to fight with the official union leaders wherever possible and against them whenever necessary.

Strike against employers' attacks on pay, jobs and conditions.

Smash the padlocks - occupy all workplaces that face closure.

For factory or workplace committees to control every strike and every action.

For organised picket defence organisations to resist police and strike-breakers? attacks.

All union leaders to be paid the average of the wage of their members, to be regularly elected and subject to replacement at any time.

For international combines of workers? representatives to unite action against multinationals.

Solidarity is our strength ? take action alongside other workers and link our demands together.

Where the capitalists attack the whole of working class, we fight for a General Strike to stop them in their tracks and prove the workers? power in society.

REVOLUTION's goal is a classless society without wage slavery.
