just a thought

[IWW Fellow Worker]

hello i support you guys 100 %
in what you are doing,
just a thought if you are being modernised
eg, using new equipment
to replace your jobs,
but at the same time are being
treated badly,
would protesting for the equipment to be removed,
to protect your jobs
be a good viable option ?
p.s keep up the good work

In a properly ordered society, the introduction of labour saving machinery would be a great benefit to the workers. It would mean a reduction in working hours with no loss of pay. Under capitalism, the introduction of labour saving machinery means thousands thrown out of work. New equipment isn't the problem, greedy, morally bankrupt bosses are. The problem has to be eliminated.

AIUI Royal Mail wanted to hand over 20% of RM shares to employees but the CWU rejected it (as did the government).
How can wealth be transferred to the ordinary workers if they refuse to accept it?

Since it is the workers who create all the wealth, the idea of a couple of parsasites offering us 20% of something we should own anyway is a joke.
