    theSocialist May Day greetings11 - 18 April 2020 2013 Socialist INTERNATIONAL Committee for a Workers’ International members in WORKERS’ DAY ay Day is an annual celebration of workers’ struggle against Mcapitalism. Its origins lie in the general strike for an eight-hour working day, put down by police gunfire in Chicago in 1886, and the foundation of the Second International, bringing together revolutionary socialists around the world in 1889 (see p10). Its history teaches us the power of the working class to transform society, and the need to overturn the capitalist state. The Socialist Party’s links with the organised working class - the agent of socialist change - are fundamental to our work. Each year, we ask groups of workers and trade unionists to support the Socialist newspaper and its ideas by financing a May Day greeting. 2020 is our fourth record-breaking year on the trot. Despite the organisational impediments and financial straits caused by the pandemic lockdown, we have received pledges totalling over £8,900, CWI members in all Unite’s three territories of represented by over 100 greetings across 16 pages.

  • Ebook Messages Calling for People to Take Part in Protest Marches Against the Occupation and Government Policies
    Unite to fight divided Tories Brutal tax credits attack halted - for now Tory tax credit cuts to make millions poorer - but show divisions at the top Hands off tax credits - defend all benefits Build a mass movement, including co-ordinated strike action, against all cuts £10 an hour minimum wage now Tory plans to cut tax credits are causing uproar throughout society. But divisions at the top show just how weak this government is. Even some Conservative MPs, in no way sympathetic with the poor, are afraid the government is going too far. There is huge relief that the attack has been delayed by the Lords. But the government is still trying to find a way to push it through. Michelle Dorrell, a single mother of four in the audience of BBC Question Time, condemned the Tories with the cry of "shame on you!" A small business owner and Conservative voter, Michelle shouted she would never vote Tory again. Other tax credit recipients have spoken to the Socialist and the establishment media about their desperation. It will be impossible to manage their finances if these cuts take place. Subsidy Gordon Brown introduced child and working tax credits during the last Labour government. They are a form of state subsidy to bosses in place of forcing them to pay a decent minimum wage. Tanya Meyers, a single mother with three kids, spoke to the BBC. She gets £140 a week in child tax credits, paid to low-income parents. Tanya said: "We need it to feed the kids and [cutting] it will literally drive me nuts." Four million families rely on child tax credits.
