Communist/union meeting
September 2011 Labour Party delegates arrived in Liverpool yesterday in preparation for this week's conference, another left wing party was meeting to outline its strategy for the future. A conference yesterday at the Bishopsgate Institute (HL) in the City of London, entitled "Trade Unions and the fight for Socialism" gathered Communist Party of Britain members and representatives from various trade unions to discuss how to "raise the level of struggle against ConDem policies".
The event, attended by about 50 people, drew attendees from as far afield as Manchester and Scotland. Issues debated were the use of Trade Councils, the European Union (and whether or not it should be supported by Communists), the government spending cuts, solidarity with the workers at Bombadier in Derby and planned for strike action on the 30th of November. The "mobilisation" in question was a planned "day of action" for unions over ConDem pensions cuts - what member of Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) executive committee Tony Conway called "in effect, a general strike on that day".
Communist Party of Britain executive committee member and President of Oxford and District Trade Union Council Gawain Little, 30 explained that there were 20 unions balloting for action on the 30th of November and that he thought the action would be necessary to get the government to rethink its policy on pensions, on the cuts to public services, the attacks on jobs, rising unemployment. Hank Roberts, Junior Vice President of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) union criticised the government for making everything in education about business and entrepreneurship and for the academies scheme.[2]
