REVOLUTIONARY TRADE UNIONISM:
ROAD TO WORKERS FREEDOM!
EDITORIAL: Unite the Workers' Struggle!
From coast to coast, a greedy class of anti-worker fat cat bosses
abuse and oppress us- the workers. Our masters want privatisation,
free trade, mass retrenchments in the public sector, "flexible"
labour (hire and fire at will), minimal union rights, and cuts in
education and health spending. This is the "free market".
In the so-called "Windhoek Declaration" signed by all southern
African governments in SADC in October 1997 it is
stated that "the private sector [is] the locomotive of economic
development," and that "business requires ... a climate in which it
can develop safely, freely and profitably". SADC (the Southern
African Development Community) includes Angola, Botswana, Lesotho,
Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland,
Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
These policies, sponsored by imperialism, and happily accepted by
the local ruling classes, will give bosses big profits. But the
workers and the poor will suffer.
In Zambia these policies have cost 100,000 jobs. In Zimbabwe they
have led to education spending falling to the level of the colonial
1970s. In South Africa, jobs are at their lowest level in 16 years.
We need to unite the workers struggles in our region. We need to
mobilise our unions in solidarity with each other, resisting the
bosses' onslaught.
Today the worker is treated as nothing while the boss is treated
as a hero. After the revolution, the workers will be everything and
the boss- nothing!!!
POWER TO THE WORKERS OF AFRICA!
