SOCIALIST ACTION:

Editor: A.D.Scott. Socialist Action sees as its central aim building, within the labour movement, a class-struggle left-wing fighting for socialist policies against those which lost Labour the last election and disillusioned Such a left-wing should support not only policies in the interests of working people but also their allies among the youth, Blacks, women and oppressed national minorities. It is only by showing that Labour champions the rights of all the oppressed and exploited that a really united offensive can be organised against the Tories (and their Socialist Action believes that a fighting left wing should be built * Hands off the unions! No curbs on the right to strike or picket!

* For the 35-hour week! End unemployment by work-sharing (with no loss of pay) and introduce a mass public works * Oppose all wage curbs. For wage increases tied to the cost of * Open the books of all companies claiming inability to pay a decent living wage or threatening redundancies. Nationalise those * Tax the rich not the poor. No cuts in the social services - for social spending to be tied to increases in the cost of living.
