Socialist Organiser no. 141, July 21/28 1983, Page Mick McGahey: a leading Communist Party member, but by no means the worst of the NUM leaders on the issue of workers' rights in the Stalinist states ONE OF the less pleasant aspects of the NUM conference was the undercurrent of Stalinism, which repeatedly broke through into the open. It maninot that workers throughout Eastern Europe would agree anyway.

And the entire conference was SWEAT shops, not registered with the factory inspectorate where the workers are not insured kill YOPsters.

In an open verdict recorded by the Sheffield Coroner on the death of Derek Cain the MSC was criticised for not having checked out the factory where Derek was 'placed' It seems that even a quick 'phone call to the Factory Inspectorate would have told the MSC officer that C. Plumb WORKERS at the Michelin factory in Stoke have now been locked out for ten days. Their opposition to the management's attempt at speed-up through four-shift working in the Lightweight Production Départment remains strong.

Last week, a mass of 1,000 workers from the LPD voted unanimously to continue • (Hatfield) Ltd was a cow-boy outfit. A visit would have shown that operating a foot pedal on a four foot high, 3 by 5 foot platform, with no handrail and open shreading blades was not a job for anyone let alone a supposedly supervised YOPster.

But the MSC didn't ring or take a look and Derek died -along with 16 others. 700 young workers have been seriously injured on a YOP to reject management's proposals.

Last week the bosses sent a letter to every worker in the LPD calling on them to return to work on their terms. A small picket was put on the gate but not one persons from the LPD turned up for work.

pressure is being applied through the press. The local placement.

The MSC staff have complained they do not have the resources to visit and approve every prospective workplace before a trainee is assigned. And in the rush to find placements for the September intake of YTS 'trainees' many more young people are going to find themselves in non-unionised and deadly factories. paper, "The Evening Sentinel" is printing letters calling for a return to work signed "Michelin worker" or "Michelin worker's wife".

The strike has been made official by the union.

That opens the way for the blacking of all Michelin products throughout industry.

The next ploy by the bosses may well be to threaten workers with the sack. Workers in from page 1 great leverage to get the other unilateralist trade unions to endorse the TGWU decision and themselves make a commitment to blacking work on the nuclear death industry.

The TGWU decision follows the recent action by the NUS -backed by the Executive of the TGWU - which stopped the movement of nuclear waste for dumping at sea.

The NUR is unilateralist. The next step is to get it to endorse - or organise - blacking.

Thus the labour movement is beginning to answer the to-beor-not-to-be question which lies at the heart of every call for disarmament — who will do the disarming?

The ruling class will never be persuaded to disarm peacefully.

There is no force in Britain other than the working class which could disarm the ruling class against its will.
