these actions Over the coming weeks the International Marxist Group will be organising support for two activities which can help to give a central focus to the fight for the right to work.
The first of these is the Right to Work March organised by the Rank and File Co-ordinating Committee, an organisation dominated by the International Socialists. The second is the Labour Movement Assembly on unemployment at Central Hall, Westminster on Saturday 27 March called by the No. 8 District of the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions.
Red Weekly urges all its readers to get delegated to these activities on the basis of the policies needed to fight for the right to work: - Work-sharing with no loss of pay and rejection of all voluntary - Nationalisation under workers control of all firms threatening - The opening of the books so that the secret plans and finances of the firms are made known to the workers' movement. - The immediate introduction of the 35-hour week - The ending of the £6 paynorm and the introduction of a sliding scale of wages to protect workers and their families against inflation. - The right to work for all - the right of women to work.
Of central importance in organising this fight is the demand for a recall TUC to break with the unemployment policies of the Labour Government. On this basis every militant should be putting down motions of support and seeking delegation to these initiatives. The address of the Right to Work Campaign is: 46 Prince George Road London N16. Credentials for the Labour Movement Assembly can be obtained from Mr Bill McLaughlin, No 8 District CSEU, 28 Denmark Street, London WC2.
