THIS WEEK'S protest by transport workers Law Lords' decision should be the start of a campaign to force the Tories to back down. As the train drivers showed, such TIrm action frightens the ment. And now the militancy of the South Yorkshire bus workers has forced the county COUNCIL frozen.
That is why the Tory press has to resort to such lies as the Standard did last Friday. This dirty London evening rag quoted GLC leader. Ken Livingstone, as being agamnst me one day stoppage and all out strike action. Ken Livingston denies that he said this.
In fact he is in favour of 'any industrial action in defence of jobs'. But the lies in the Standard purpose and one purpose only: to divide and weaken London Transport workers taking their tirst oint strike action since the General Strike in 1926.
Socialist Challenge spoke to the editor of the Standard. Louis Kir. by. who to He that an 'unfortunate' error had Crest into the сору. Ken Livingstone actually said wastnataone day strike will have no major impact.
The word major was left did the whole different politically the original.
the Standard editor told us was that Ken Livingstone only complains when make him sound like a reasonable character. What Louis Kirby really means is that whenever Ken Livingstone other Labour leaders take a lead and come out in full support for workers CHORS newspapers like the Standard don't like it.
Street is mouthpiece for the Tories while the courts do Thatcher's dirty WOrK All action taken by Londor Transport Ken Livingstone had been prepared to take more of a lead in defying the unions who War. таке on the Tories, then the Stanaara and is uk would have no impact.
