Following the July 2022 UK government decision to allow agency workers to replace striking workers, the Executive Committee has issued the following statement:
“We are approaching a new phase in a long history of anti-union legislation, from both Tory and Labour governments.

We urge all of our fellow-workers to join an appropriate union, but remind them that this can only ever be a defensive response, that equity is not possible for wage slaves and that the only way to ensure sustained well-being for us all is by replacing the crazed pursuit of profit for the few with a classless society of cooperation, where everything is produced solely to meet human needs.”
