St, city A 24-hour stoppage and demonstration has been called in SouthYorkshire to protest against the Tories' anti-working class policies.

It is organised by the South Yorkshire Engineering and Steel Committee, which has the support of the local Confederation of Engineering and Shipbuilding Unions. They hope that it will be a one-day South Yorkshire general strike. In a leaflet put out by the committee, they emphasise that they are calling on all workers for support.

The leaflet makes the point that a 24 hour stoppage is not the be-all and end-all, but it is a start.

All workers in South Yorkshire should support the call, and in particular support should be sought from the miners.

Bombastic

South Yorkshire is setting a good example for other areas - and for the national leaders of the trade unions, who nowadays seem to believe that the strongest possible action against the Tories is a bombastic speech.

Assemble: 10am, MonJanuary 26, Carlisle to march through the for a rally.
