ST A SECOND reprint is currently being organised of the leaflet 'Act Now Against Tebbit' from the Mobilising Committee for the Defence of Trade Union Rights, and of the Committee's factsheet, 'How the Tebbit Bill affects You'.
Trade union branches are taking bulk orders - 500, for example, to Camden NUPE. And local Mobilising Committees are starting activity, following the example of the London Committee launched under the chairmanship of Jeremy Corbyn of Hornsey Labour Party and NUPE.
In Leicester for example the Trades Council has sponsored its own local campaign against Tebbit.
The Mobilising Committee's appeal calls for the labour movement to break all links with the Tories now and the TUC to call a one-lay strike as the first Committee ACT NOW Mobilising in Defence of Rights step t the 1 › all-out action to stop 'ebbit Bill becoming It becomes the more vital, the more the Tories step up the pressure. If the labour movement allows the Tebbit threat to be overshadowed by the Falklands crisis, or resigns itself to the idea that nothing can be done for now because the Tories are so determined to push the Bill through, then the conditions for fighting back in the future will be that much worse.
