According to Mr Black “Library staff feel unable to publically speak out against these plans due to management threats.

Libraries NI carried out a sham consultation before announcing the closure of ten libraries across Belfast. It now appears they are not happy with this – they want to close down even more. I am demanding an immediate statement from Irene Knox stating that there are no plans to close Woodstock Library. If this is not forthcoming, we will be left with no choice but to launch a major community campaign to save Woodstock Library.”

The tawdry morals of capitalism

Time to raise the socialist banner – For a society to eliminate the horrors of capitalism

From forthcoming new issue of Socialism Today, monthly journal of the Socialist Party (CWI England and Wales)

Twenty years ago, the representatives of capitalism celebrated the collapse of Stalinism. And the major powers imposed their economic and military dominance across the globe, increasing the exploitation and suffering of billions of people. Today, they want to make the working class and poor pay for the deep economic crisis they have created. This exposed the bankruptcy of the capitalist system, not only economically but also ideologically and morally.

Unison general secretary election – Prentis vote falls despite Con-Dem attacks

As reported in last week's Socialist, Unison general secretary Dave Prentis was re-elected to his position in the recent ballot, but with fewer votes than when he last stood in 2005.

The drop in votes for Dave Prentis was in the region of 21%, disproportionate to the fall in the turn-out in the election, from 16% to 14.6%, and is despite the fact that the election took place after the general election, when the threat of the Con-Dem attacks on public sector workers might have been expected to rally Unison members behind the union and its leadership.
