Fujitsu: ACAS proposals accepted

Unite members at Fujitsu have voted 72% in favour of accepting ACAS proposals after taking 10 days strike action against the companies moves to introduce compulsory redundancies and draconian attacks on pay and pensions. The proposals include commitments to allow union representatives to participate in several reviews into redundancies, pension arrangements and signing a definition of promotion. However, Fujitsu bosses have refused to withdraw plans to impose compulsory redundancies, merely to postpone them until after 26 March.

Workers are well aware that management cannot be trusted. Threats on pay, pensions and redundancies still remain and must be responded to by a determined campaign to organise all Fujitsu workers in the coming weeks.

Two onshore gas fields are next to being a gift. One in Clare and one in the North West. The closing date for the licence applications is 11 June.

Building new workers’ parties and the tasks of socialists

European CWI Summer School Report

On Tuesday 13 July, attention at the European Summer School, held by the Committee for a Workers’ International (CWI) last week in Belgium, with over 400 attending, turned to the question of building new mass-based workers’ parties. The call for the building of new mass workers’ parties has been a vital part of our political programme for almost 20 years in many CWI sections. The summer School was an ideal arena to share the varied experiences of our sections so far, discuss the perspectives for the development of new parties and draw the key lessons to assist our dual tasks of building revolutionary Marxist forces and assisting the development of new mass parties.

Debate – Sinn Fein, cuts and the unions

The following letter was printed in The Irish News on 28th November 2009.

Dear editor,
Jim Gibney criticises union leaders in the North for giving Sinn Fein their fair share of the blame for the austerity cuts of the Assembly, arguing that Sinn Fein have opposed cuts in public services and privatisation, as well as water charges (Irish News, 12/11/09).

Jim would do well to remember that it was Catriona Ruane who forced classroom assistants to take strike action in order to defend their pay, conditions and the front-line service they deliver. She now presides over a department which is closing and slashing funding to schools. All new builds on school grounds in Belfast are now done on the basis of PFI/PPP, thanks to Minister Ruane.
