anti-union withoul the questions are:
class sutterina a union rights the men Bathgate then strong words are Tories would surely be Socialist Challenge, PO Box 50, AS THE Tory government prepares to confront the entire movement with itsthe Labour Party must ask itself frankly whether it can meet that challenge without first taking on its own right-wing.
Everyone is for unity and working now for the defeat of the Tories at the next election. But What kind of 'unity' and how do we ensure that a future Labour government will not betray its supporters?
The first thing the Party must do is lend unconditional support to all workers engaged in battle against the Tories in defence of jobs, services, living standards and, above all, trade The Parliamentary Labour Party does not seem to be able to make up its mina, but we must surely stand alongside the train drivers, striking against redundancies and Leyland, councillors workers struggling to prevent the destruction of low fares schemes....
Lessons must be learned from what has happened at local government level since the took office. failure by the Party leadership to co-ordinate and lead that fight encouraged the Tories.
That is why the recent meeting at Bishop's Stortford and the supposed justifiably worrying the rank and file of the Party. The right-wing see Bishop's Stortford as a 'victory'. Despite the denials of those present, there has been no authoritative statement to the Coll al y Therefore Bishop's Stortford adds to the confusion among the Left and in the ranks of the Party...

The fight to confirm the selection of Peter Tatchell as Bermondsey's candidate and the lifting of the inquiry into 'Militant' become separate issues for decisions in commitand tee rooms.
