Activities
Don't Let Them Deal You a Bad Hand!
Leaflet distributed by Klasbatalo during the croupiers' strike in Montreal.
Internationalism and the War in Ukraine
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is now approaching the two month mark. Like other imperialist conflicts in the past, it has put the internationalist convictions of revolutionaries to the test.
No War but the Class War - A Call for Action
- The Russian invasion of Ukraine is no isolated act. It is the beginning of a new period of imperialist competition which threatens more generalised war in a way not seen since 1945.
No to Capitalism's Wars
Leaflet given out by comrades of the Internationalist Communist Party (Battaglia Comunista) at a demonstration in Florence on 26 March.
Against Capitalism, As Always!
Leaflet distributed by the PCInt during the "No Draghi Day" protests in Italy.
Striking Kellogg's Workers: Don't Settle for Crumbs!
Leaflet distributed by the IWG during the Kellogg's strike in Lancaster, PA.
Striking Kellogg's Workers: Don't settle for crumbs! Demand the abolition of the 2-tier system & more!
Report from the Kellogg's Workers Strike
Since October 4, 1,400 workers at the four Kellogg’s plants in the United States have been on strike in response to a two-tier wage system and the company’s efforts to permanently classify workers out of receiving better wages and benefits. The IWG has been able to intervene at the strike at the Lancaster plant several times over the last month, distributing leaflets and collecting information from the workers there.(1) What follows is a brief report and analysis on the situation.
The Generalized Crisis Requires a Generalized Struggle
Leaflet distributed by Klasbatalo during the CPE daycare workers' strike in Quebec.
Striking Kellogg's Workers: Take Control of the Struggle!
Leaflet distributed by the IWG during the Kellogg's strike in Lancaster, PA.
Let's Get Political!
Leaflet distributed by the CWO at recent strikes and protests happening around the UK.
Pay and pension cuts, redundancies, fire and re-hire, health & safety violations, precarity, evictions, anti-protest bills... The attacks are varied but they all point in the same direction: as always, it is the working class who will bear the cost of the crisis.
Workers' conditions and struggles
To Throw a Wrench in the Bosses' Plans, We Need to Take Control of the Struggle!
IWG flyer for distribution during the auto-workers’ strike.
Utilizing deceit and dirty tricks, the individuals that are supposed to defend the auto-workers’ interests are the first to betray them…
Balloting on Tentative Agreement at UPS: Workers' Mobilizations in the USA are Subordinated to the Exigencies of Crisis and Rearmament
UPS Struggle: Strike While the Iron is Hot!
The recent situation of the working class has been treacherous, to say the least. Inflation, war, and instability prevail, while wages stay down and things only get worse.
Montreal: Why are the BAnQ Workers on Strike?
Leaflet distributed by NWBCW Montreal during the BAnQ and Owens Illinois strikes.
The BAnQ workers are on strike because, even prior to the current inflationary period, their wages were suppressed, without any pay increase since 2018. With generalized inflation, workers across the board have seen their real pay slashed as food prices rise and real estate speculation causes skyrocketing rent prices.

Two Comments on Recent Bus Strikes in the UK
A Week on the Buses...
British strikes are very much like British buses. You hang around for ages for one to turn up, then three arrive, you turn away for a minute to sort out your change but when you look up, they’ve all disappeared!

At least 70,000 workers from 45 factories—including tens of thousands of auto parts and assembly workers at companies that supply GM, Ford and Fiat-Chrysler—have launched a wildcat strike in the US-Mexico border town of Matamoros.
The strike is a rebellion against both the “maquiladora” manufacturing corporations and the pro-company trade unions. Over 1 million workers endure low wages and sweatshop conditions at the 3,000 “maquiladora” factories that line the Mexican side of the border and account for 65 percent of Mexican exports. It looks like it has the potential to escalate.

China has detained student organisers and factory workers in at least three cities as a crackdown against labour protests spreads across the country. Security forces stormed student and worker dormitories in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen on Friday night, according to student activists, taking away five university students, three workers in Guangdong province, as well as several employees at a Shenzhen-based labour rights organisation.

Mutiny is the bulletin of Klasbatalo. Mutinerie est le bulletin de Klasbatalo.
Written by Jock Dominie. £12, 276pp.
The Russian Revolution remains a landmark event in history. For the bourgeois historians, the October Revolution is thought to be a tragedy that set back the achievements of the “democratic” February Revolution, and allowed the Bolsheviks to wreak havoc on their citizens and the world. For the Stalinists, the events of 1917 paved the way for the birth of the USSR, which they point to as a prototypical example of “socialism in one country”. In reality, the February and October Revolutions were both part of the same proletarian revolution.
The book can be ordered by emailing us at uk@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details, or by donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” button.
