the legends have done it again

I was at a rally for the first Amazon in the UK to unionize today, the day after UCU (higher education) start their strike alongside CWU (communications workers, post offices) who are continuing to strike, plus ASLEF (railways) striking tomorrow & more across the country & in Scotland.

The NHS is balloting for historic strike action right now, PCS (public sector) is doing the same and NEU (education) is getting ready to strike in the new year.

Socialists and trade union members have been calling for more organised coinciding strikes and I'm glad to see representatives from other picket lines that are out right now showing up to Amazon to support the workers there who just lost their first ever ballot for strike action by 3 votes (thanks to anti-worker laws, but they've learnt their lesson and they're going to absolutely smash the turnout required for the next one, just watch).

Amazon workers in 40 different countries are on strike today, and litigators working with the GMB union (which now represents one of the biggest and the FIRST EVER unionised Amazon warehouse in the UK!) have fought the US government about human rights abuses at guantanamo bay in the past - and they said earlier today that they moved to fight against private employers like amazon because conditions there are as bad if not even worse than they've seen fighting against the US government.

Solidarity with all workers, it's time to build for more united strike action because the solidarity between workers in different unions is immense. It's a political fight too: strikes earlier this year got rid of Boris Johnson and made Liz Truss lose to a lettuce. Time to get rid of the rest of the conservatives and Labour too - just this week Keir Starmer has been trying to turn workers against their favourite scapegoat: the refugees that this government is killing and abusing at a horrific rate.

All strikes are political, and by building the rank & file in the trade union movement, by building solidarity in the working class, we demonstrate the power of the alternative to capitalism, a world run by the working class and for the working class.

Solidarity to members of all striking unions, victory to the workers, and let's continue to build these strikes until we seize the means of production and fully rid ourselves of the capitalist class.

Fuck Jeff Bezos

Here's to the workers at Amazon BHX4!

Watch them crush the anti-union laws and together we'll bring the bosses to their knees! ✊
