*Threatened plants must be occupied to provide a focus for the struggle throughout BL.
*Open the books of BL, its suppliers and bankers! Open the books of the British car industry! Unmask the profiteers! Warn of the dangers to thousands of workers outside BL.
*No redundancies! For work sharing on full pay: the reduced work available must be divided between the whole workforce, under the control of trade union committees, without loss of pay.
*Defeat Edwardes and his Tory backers! For a massive campaign for a 'no' vote in Edwardes ballot! Mobilise mass action alongside BL workers in the fight to bring down the Tory asset-strippers!
*For the nationalisation without compensation of the engineering industry and the banks, under workers" management. For a socialist plan of production for the need of the many, not the profits of the few!
*Kick out the Labour traitors! Drive out Edwardes' Confed collaborators, and the Labour leaders whose policies have paved the way for the Edwardes plan. Demand that those who claim to oppose the sackings stand up and lead a fight for a socialist alternative throughout the labour movement, or stand exposed.
*Build a principled, revolutionary leadership among BL workers!
