NOW that nominations for the PCS’s next general secretary election are open, Communists in PCS and in the wider trade union movement recognise the imperative of creating and building extra-parliamentary action if Britain is to both elect a left Labour government and to throw of years of New Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative Party austerity and anti working-class policies.
These policies have seen people die, forced students into massive debt and in some cases prostitution, ratcheted up racist language, actions and policies including forced deportations and seen cuts in our wages and other terms and conditions.
A left Labour government gives us an opportunity to stop and reverse these attacks. To win trade union rights, to enforce anti-discrimination laws and to reintroduce a proper social security system. But this won't happen automatically; we must work for it.
