LegalTime to Break
Dear Comrade When are we going to follow the lead of the Fire Fighters Unions and break with the ALP. How many times do we have to be screwed till we learn that the ALP has no intention of acting in the interests of the workers of this state. The use of military to break the miners strike, the accord, the smashing of the BLF, breaking the pilots strike, S11, M1 now July 20. Just more proof that the ALP is a bosses party and not a party for us the workers. When is the Labour Council of NSW going to come to their senses and break with the capitalist ALP, when is LaborNet, and Worker Online going to critisise the ALP for ways and publish the truth. The rank and file know the ALP doesnt support them and want a real workers party and a real organ of the workers. If Workers Online cannot duely attack the Labor Party and the Union for supporting them, then Workers Online will no longer be a organ of the workers of this state, instead of being a progressive force it will be an obstacle relegating itself to the same leagues of the Murdoch - Packer dailies. Please publish the truth as seen by the workers, and not the truth as seen by the capitalist union leaders. No to the ALP, No to Socialist Alternative, for a real workers party and organ! Comradely yours Justin Ed:'s Reply I hope we've gone far enough this week for you!
