Social workers in cities all over the country are still locked in strike action in conflict with the 5% pay limit, pursuing their demand for regrading:
In Leeds, the strike began on November 2 in defiance of NALGO bureaucrats, who argued that a 53% vote on a secret ballot was not a big enough majority for action!
But the position is weak in Leeds as much through the lack of contact with the trade union movement as through any lack . of resolve of the membership.
The lack of preparation for action in Leeds contrasts with MEANWHILE, OUTSIDE.
HIS SECRETARY SAYS HE'S NOT WHERE'S THAT AVAILABLE.
BLOODY O'FISHALL WE CAN NOMR HE MOST DE HERE FIND HIM WHEN THERE'S HIS CAR!
WE WANT HIM!
BUT I'VE SECURED A REYOLUTIONARY DEAL. the 3-month strike in Newcastle where social workers have sought and obtained support from all sections of local government workers, as well as teachers and firemen.
But the idea of leaving the strike isolated is in no way challenged by the SWP's rank and file' grouping, the NALGO Action Group.
Last Saturday in Liverpool NAG held a conference on this struggle restricted purely to members of NALGO-thus excluding in advance other sections-such as probation , officers-that might be able to give valuable assistance.
