Demonstrating for Strikes

National demos provide an excellent opportunity to meet up with local activists who are united in seeing the need to join the fight back against the cuts. Thus rising very very early this morning, the Leicester contingent joined tens of thousands of others in London on the “Britain Needs a Pay Rise” national rally.

Marching in unison for fair pay for all,  today’s loud and vibrant demonstration provided a welcome boost to working-class solidarity.

Militant speeches made on the podium by trade union leaders now need to be matched with commensurate action. Serious organising efforts towards building for a much-needed 1-day General Strike would now be a great step forward.
