chem1st Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Working class solidarity required for better future for peoples of UK. The UK peoples need to unite and show working class solidarity. In effect form a big society. Moaning about the unemployed, whilst unemployment and prices are increasing, ain't going to improve society. We need to improve the economy and create jobs. We should be able to improve things and make them cheaper, reducing the cost of living; say create cheaper more efficient and reliable transport... An example of how this could be done; In the next week, certain people who qualify as 'unemployed' (those that are UNDEREMPLOYED) will be eligible for free bus passes for a period for one month. This is supposed to help them find work. Train fares will rise above RPI inflation for the tenth year running. This is supposed to lead to improvements on the trains. Workers will be riding the trains and buses to work, paying more to do so and reading propaganda from the dailymail in the metro (METRO is DM). They will in turn think the unemployed are living the high life and perhaps moan about their own underemployment (not enough hours, below inflation pay rises, or pay freezes for years, little job stability/security, perhaps even being people in and out of work themselves). This is where they need to stop and THINK! Who is really benefiting? Is it the unemployed with one months travel? Is that where the increased fares are going to? No it is not. But it would be easy to make em scapegoat for one month and continue paying higher prices for one year before the next inflation busting price rise and potentially another 'free travel scheme' to divert attention from rising the prices. But not only them. The unemployed are in a position to step up. They will most likely be working in the not too distant future, and due to being skint and time rich they will have few social activities to participate in, on their meager dole. So they might as well spend a bit of their time campaigning for the rights of WORKERS. After all, the unemployed ARE workers, it is just they are unfortunate to find themselves out of work at this particular moment of time - the labour market changes all the time. It is in their own interests to oppose transport increases, so instead of being blinded by a months free travel, they should stop and THINK! What is really happening to the cost of travel? Should they kick the gift horse in the mouth? Do they take the bribe? OR do they oppose the price rises? But what of the railway workers? Well they too need to step up. They should know where improvements could made, and if there is a need for extra staff, they should be opposing any troughing at the top. Whilst all this strange situation of people working together and looking out for each other is going on, there would be opportunity to spread news of work. A lot of employment is created by word of mouth, if anybody knows of any jobs, they could actively recruit the unemployed fighting for workers rights on the way to work. Perhaps there are a few jobs going in local industry so that local industry can produce widgets for the future improved transport infrastructure with lower production costs. Greater division of labour (AND increased amounts of labour in general), leads to rising production (cheaper costs) and rising living standards. Do you think working class solidarity is required for a better future for the peoples of the UK ? Or will you be outraged by the article towards the front of the metro the one month temporary bus for jobs scheme, beside the article detailing the tenth year of inflation busting rail fare rises on Wednesday 2nd January 2013. Maybe you are unemployed, looking for work and haven't even heard of bus for jobs? Perhaps you could benefit from free bus travel to look for work? Maybe even pop down your local train station and argue for cheaper fares for workers (be they unemployed, underemployed or content in their working life)...

tinfoilhat Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm working class. Why have I got to follow YOU and join YOUR gang ?? Who made you king of working class ? You should join my gang. Way cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodmally Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm very much in favour of working class solidarity with emphaisis on the working. We should unite against those who cannot be bothered to work. Those people who will sit on their bright house sofas watching Jeremey Kyle all day while we pay our taxes to sustain them. They will go out and drink, smoke and take drugs while we are hard at work. Well they may occasionally stop doing this to procreate another kid to a different father.

We should unite against those who cannot be bothered to work. Those people who will sit on their bright house sofas watching Jeremey Kyle all day while we pay our taxes to sustain them. Before we worry about those who don't want to work, perhaps we should worry about those that do? Willing workers are good workers. Unwilling workers are not. We should provide proper work to the willing workers first, before we even begin to worry about people who don't want to work (who probably wouldn't add much to the workplace anyway - too many cooks spoil the broth and all that). They will go out and drink, smoke and take drugs while we are hard at work. Well they may occasionally stop doing this to procreate another kid to a different father. Members of all classes do this to some extent. Others (of all classes) don't take drugs etc., some have many children with one person and remain paired for life, some don't have children etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bit of "idle" land for my trusted lieutenants. I'd get in on the ground floor mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 There is already working class solidarity. We're all cool with each other. We don't like drug addled wasters any more than we like casino bankers. Do some work and you can join the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
