Recent moves in the SW camp have seen them move away from propaganda style abstract generalisations to building small but potentially useful movements- such as Climaction or this Solidarity campaign in South Auckland.<BR/><BR/>UNITE! seem to be concentrating more on service style operations- Hotels and Fast food, whereas their comrades in Solidarity are looking out to South Auckland. I wonder if this is part of an agreed plan between McCarten/Treen and Morgan/Carolan?<BR/><BR/><BR/>You might be the last to know, but there are rumours that there has been a change of leadership within the Pure Trotskyists also, with the young guard now "flexing their muscles" too. <BR/><BR/>Decembers ChildAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1174703862703185622007-03-24T15:37:00.000+12:002007-03-24T15:37:00.000+12:00What are these things called "redundancy rights" C...What are these things called "redundancy rights" Cameron?Trevor Loudonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040453691836232676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1174699025635017232007-03-24T14:17:00.000+12:002007-03-24T14:17:00.000+12:00Solidarity with all the workers at Metroglass.
