*Organise the left to beat back the Tories' attacks!

No to attacks on union rights; defend the picket line; no state interference in our unions! No to any wage curbs. Labour must support all struggles for better living standards and conditions. *Wage rises should at the very least keep up with price increases. For a price index calculated by working class organisations, as the basis for clauses in ail wage agreements to provide automatic monthly rises in line with the true cost of living for the working class. The same inflation-proofing should apply to state benefits, grants and pensions. *Fight for improvements in the social services, and against cuts. Protection for those services against inflation by automatic inflation-proofing of expenditure. For occupations and supporting strike action *End unemployment. Cut hours, not jobs. Fight for a 35 hour week and an end to overtime. Demand work-sharing without loss of pay. Organise the unemployed - campaign for a programme of useful public works to create new jobs for the unem*Defend all jobs! Open the books of those firms that threaten closure or redundancies, along with those of their suppliers and bankers, to elected trade union committees. For occupation and blacking action to halt the closures. For nationalisation without compensation under workers' management. *Make the bosses pay, not the working class.

Millions for hospitals, not a penny for 'defence'!

Nationalise the banks and financial institutions, without compensation. End the interest burden on council housing and other public services.

*Scrap all immigration controls. Race is not a problem: racism is. The labour movement must mobilise to drive the fascists off the streets. Purge racists from pósitions in the labour movement.

Organise full support for black self-defence. Build * The capitalist police are an enemy for the working class. Support all demands to weaken them as a bosses' striking force: dissolution of special squads (SPG, Special Branch, MI5, etc), public accoun* Free abortion on demand. Women's equal right to work and full equality for women. Defend and extend free state nursery and childcare provision. *Against attacks on gays by the state: abolish all laws which discriminate against lesbians and gay men; for the right of the gay community to organise *The Irish people - as a whole - should have the right to determine their own future. Get the British troops out now! Repeal the Prevention of Terrorism Act. Political status for Irish Republican prisoners as *The black working people of South Africa should get full support from the British labour movement for their strikes, struggles and armed combat against the white supremacist regime. South African goods *It is essential to achieve the fullest democracy in the labour movement.
