THERE are no limits to what we can achieve when we organise collectively to disrupt the war machine, a Stop the War Coalition fringe meeting at the TUC Congress heard today.

Speaking at the Why War, Peace and Palestine are Trade Union Issues event in Brighton, Fire Brigades Union national officer Ricardo De La Torre said: “Any function that goes towards the facilitation of the war machine almost certainly will be turned on somewhere by a worker, turned off somewhere by a worker, made by a worker, cleaned by a worker, delivered by a worker. 

“There are no limits to what we could achieve when we organise collectively in disrupting that machine.”
