As we go to press the NUR has called on the TUC to organise a 24-hour General Strike against the policies of the Tory government, declaring that marches : alone will not change its course.
It is important that the right wing NUR leaders now concede the need for such generalised action.
But it is wrong to restrict it to one day. Militants in every union must press for an all-out general strike to bring down the Toriés.
To prepare for such action and strengthen and spread the steel strike councils of action must be built in each area drawing delegates from all local labour movement bodies. Closure.
The parents plan to continue the occupation as long as possible and have leafletted the local area and asked parents and childminders to bring children along to the Nursery to use the facilities.
Supporting strikes
The trade unions, Labour Party and Trades Council in Wandsworth have given support to the occupation but active support is needed, particularly from public sector unions in the form of supporting strike action.
If not there is a real danger that this occupation, like other previous struggles against the Tory attack on women, children one parent families and the necessary and vital service of day provision for the under fives could end in isolation and defeat.
