Right to Work

The right to work is a basic human right, just like the right to food, warmth and shelter. Our governors are attempting to and will make a concerted effort to cut jobs and services. This will have a devastating effect on all of us and most worryingly will hurt the young.

Young and old alike do not deserve mistreatment, but the young are being hurt, denied a future at a tender age, this is a sorry indictment of the society we live in, that the governors hurt and abuse the young. The youth need love and should be nurtured, they are the future, and if you don't care about that, what do you care about?

The answer to that is becoming increasingly obvious, they don't care about us, they do care and they do worship their own wealth and privilege. The solution to the economic crisis is not to dwindle the economy more by cutting jobs and services, but to use what is being wasted on trident, on wars, the tax loop holes, the second third and even forth homes of the wealthy to get the economy going.

Trouble is our governors cannot see this or they don't want to see it, if they did and many of them indeed do, they would rather not pitch in with society to maintain its workings, they prefer and many of them are conditioned in to thinking that maintaining their short term goals of accumulation, wealth and power is the primary aim. This is at the expense of the whole, at the expense of the earth. This is a struggle, this is a fight for the earth against those who are destroying her.

See this brilliant video, how the right to work campaign is taking hold and gathering momentum in Ireland. There is an emergency right to work campaign meeting being held in London on 22nd May, for more details click the socialist worker link at the top of the page.
