London Public Meeting
WHY THE SO-CALLED WORKERS' MOVEMENT DOESN'T DEFEND THE WORKING CLASS
PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION
As the economic crisis gets worse the class war is intensifying. Everywhere workers’ wages are being reduced, social services cut and workers are being made redundant. This is a slow but sustained war of attrition against the working class which has been going on for years. The effect is that now 14.3 million people in the UK live in poverty, 8.1 million of these are actually in work and 4.3 million are children. There have been fight-backs in sectors like rail, Royal Mail, hospitals, universities and other sectors, but these struggles have been impeded by the tactics of the trade unions.
The unions have prevented strikes from taking place, prevented strikes uniting or closed them down. Where they have negotiated with the bosses they have negotiated redundancies, worse conditions and wage rises less than inflation.
Why are the unions unable or unwilling to defend their members? Come to our public meeting to discuss this.
When: Saturday, 27 September 2025, at 2:00pm
Where: Calthorpe Arms, 252 Grays Inn Road, WC1X 8JR

The Internationalist Communist Tendency consists of (unsurprisingly!) not-for-profit organisations. We have no so-called “professional revolutionaries”, nor paid officials. Our sole funding comes from the subscriptions and donations of members and supporters. Anyone wishing to donate can now do so safely using the Paypal buttons below.
ICT publications are not copyrighted and we only ask that those who reproduce them acknowledge the original source (author and website leftcom.org). Purchasing any of the publications listed (see catalogue) can be done in two ways:
- By emailing us at uk@leftcom.org, us@leftcom.org or ca@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details
- By donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” buttons
- By cheque made out to "Prometheus Publications" and sending it to the following address: CWO, BM CWO, London, WC1N 3XX
The CWO also offers subscriptions to Revolutionary Perspectives (3 issues) and Aurora (at least 4 issues):
- UK £15 (€18)
- Europe £20 (€24)
- World £25 (€30, $30)
Take out a supporter’s sub by adding £10 (€12) to each sum. This will give you priority mailings of Aurora and other free pamphlets as they are produced.
