VOTE LABOUR - and keep on FIGHTING!

For JOBS. Unemployment is not inevitable. It is caused by a system where workers are employed only if it is profitable, and where employers use mass unemployment as a political weapon. Labour promises increased spending on health, education and social services, and increased public investment in housing, rail electrification, etc. So far, so good. But the labour movement also needs to fight directly for jobs instead of just waiting for the effects of increased public spending to trickle through. An immediate 35 hour week, and work-sharing with no loss of pay; opening the books of companies declaring redundancies, and fighting for workers' plans; extending nationalisation into profitable sectors, to acquire the resources to plan production for need - these are the For PEACE. Trident, Cruise and other nuclear weapons are nothing to do with defending us. Their purpose is to enable the British government to act as a big-power bully on a world scale. In a nuclear war almost everyone except the favoured few in their bunkers would be wiped out. We gain nothing from the fact that Thatcher can press a button to wipe out millions in the USSR and East Europe. Scrap the Bomb! The alternative is not more power for the generals who are strengthening their conventional forces for 'counter-insurgency, but citizen's defence: militias based on universal military training and labour movement/community control. For PUBLIC SERVICES. The Tories say "we can't afford" better health, education, housing, social services. In truth we can't afford to have the Tories whittling down these services, privatising as much as they can, and directing money to private profits, to tax cuts for the rich, to the arms drive and to *Fortress Falklands'.

For WAGES. The Tories aim to protect capitalism from workers' wage demands by cash limits and mass unemployment; the Alliance and Labour's right wing, by incomes policies. The answer should be to protect workers' wages from the profit system - by a legal minimum wage, and automatic monthly wage increases in line with a working class price index.

For WOMEN'S RIGHTS. All the work done by women unpaid in the home instead of public services is a free gift to capitalism - and a block to any real equality for women. Women need to fight not only for stronger equality laws but also for more services, more nurseries. and the right to a job.
