Mobilise against job losses
Despite a growing economy, jobs are still being lost. Central
Statistical Service (CSS) figures showed that 25 072 jobs were lost
in the "non-farm" sector in the first half of 1997. Employment fell
by 1,5% since June 1996.
Jobs in the manufacturing sector fell by almost 4% since June last
year despite growth in manufacturing output this year. Jobs are being
created in the so-called "informal sector" of semi-legal exploiters
and dirt poor street trading.
Employment levels are at their lowest level in 16 years.
This contradicts the so-called "GEAR" free -market strategy of the
government. GEAR said it would make 252 000 new jobs this year
through privatisation, deregulation and the free market.
The experts say things will get better- we say stop your lying!
Workers! Don't be fooled by productivity agreements, or similar
deals. The bosses are the enemy and we must fight!
Don't trust the politicians; trust your own militancy!
* OCCUPY THE FACTORIES WHEN THE WORKERS ARE
DISMISSED!
* REFUSE TO LEAVE UNTIL NEW OR CONTINUED
EMPLOYMENT IS WON!
* THE UNIONS MUST ORGANISE THE UNEMPLOYED
IN MASS MARCHES FOR JOBS AND BREAD!
