General strike now needed!
The CWU has thrown its weight behind the growing chorus of demands for a 24-hour general strike against Government-led attacks on working people and the vital services they rely on.
Committing the CWU to join forces with other trade unions and campaigning organisations in the fight against Coalition Government attempts to make working people pay for a crisis caused by bankers, delegates at the union's Annual Conference in Bournemouth unanimously called on the CWU's leadership to seek to co-ordinate campaigns and strikes with other unions.
Faced with an unprecedented ideological attack on workers' rights - amplified by yesterday's thinly veiled threat by Business Secretary Vince Cable to curtail the right to strike by UK workers - delegates agreed that only strike action on a scale already seen in France and Greece will force the Cameron Government to change tack and urged the TUC to co-ordinate a 24-hour general strike.
