Now we that the full Donatior WON There is no compromise possible-for all the waffle of TUC leaders. The 5% pay limit must be destroyed in action, and the Callaghan cabinet that spawned it must be driven out.

Workers' living standards can only be defended through large increases protected against future inflation through cost of living clauses based on a trade union/housewives price index. Jobs can only be defended if every job cutting productivity plan is thrown out.

To carry out such a fight a new leadership is necessary in the workers' movement, independent of the TUC and Labour As the strike wave grows, each section of workers in struggle must take steps to unite in local councils of action, drawing delegates from every working class trade union and political organisation in each area.

Within these councils of action Marxists will argue for and organise the strengthening and spreading of picketing and pay strikes-especially into the public sector, and an • all-out campaign throughought the labour movement to remove Callaghan and Healey, demanding that the so-called Labour 'lefts' join in this fight.

Should any left' MP or union official take up this call, they must be supported on this and pressed to go further. • Those that refuse, and prefer to allow Callaghan to attack their members and supporters, can be exposed to the workers' movement.

Such political struggles, in the context of a growing movement on wages, can demonstrate in practice to increasing numbers of workers that a revolutionary party, not a group of 'left' talking opportunists, must be built to defend the independent interests of the working class, which can only be secured in the struggle for socialism.
