If you want a good benchmark for thinking about the proposed wage rises of 6-8 percent being forced on various striking workforces right now, consider this:

Increase in the price of staples from May 2019 to May 2023 in Britain:

30% increase in the price of butter
25% increase in the price of bread
37% increase in the price of chicken
55% increase in the price of milk
70% increase in the price of baked beans

Average rent in London in 2019 was £1,425 (all types and sizes of housing)
The figure for March 2023 was £2,193.

That's an increase of more than 50%.

Now tell me those wage increases -- which are not to address just this last year's extreme inflation or even the four years detailed above, but FIFTEEN YEARS of pay freezes and below-inflation rises that have been compounded by the last year's runaway price hikes -- are 'generous'.

With the so called "left" trade union leaders once more telling the workers to Labour it's worth explaining why again workers shouldn't lend their support to Labour.
This isn't because we profess for the Tories or the Greens, LibDems or who ever is floating around.
This because Labour as much an integral party of British capitalism as The Conservatives are.
Their invention was not for socialism, but for better control of unionised workers.

If the opinion polls were anything to go by (and they aren’t), then Labour’s anaemic reformism without reforms isn’t resonating with voters in quite the way that the bourgeois media would like us to believe.

🤡🇬🇧⛓UK Honors Drug Addicted Criminal with Street Name🇺🇦💰🚨

Via BBC, A street in Essex has been officially inaugurated as the United Kingdom's first road named after President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Previously known as Fifth Avenue, the street in Harlow has now been renamed as Fifth Avenue - Zelensky Avenue.

It's a noteworthy recognition for the President, as even Fifth Columns are now getting streets named after them!

The Class Consciousness Project supports without equivocation all workers in struggle. We know that, in the majority of cases and until a full working class consciousness can be developed, these struggles will be organised through trade unions.

But, as we have seen with the capitulation of the CWU in its disputes with Royal Mail and BT, as well as the NEU recommending a below inflation and unfunded pay offer for teachers, trade union bureaucracies cannot effectively lead workers unless workers effectively lead them.

We understand why people would see these failures and come to the conclusion that the whole movement is defeated, broken and irreparable. But trade unions are the biggest organisers of working class people and can be the militant expression of working class power they should be.

To do this, the chasm between the rank and file membership and the well-paid bureaucrats of trade unions has to be bridged. Rank and file members with the knowledge, skills, motivation and class consciousness must pose a viable and permanent threat to bureaucrats.

Our task is to build that knowledge, the skills, the class consciousness and the motivation in our class comrades needed to prevent the failures and defeats which befall the trade union movement far too often.

To quote a statement from @PostiesSayNo in response to the capitulation of the CWU:

“Staying in [the CWU] also means ensuring that the experience of the last year is never repeated. That means building at the grassroots, holding members meetings, electing reps, and building workplace committees, holding branches to account. It means coming together to build a rank-and-file alternative that can give a new direction to our union and ultimately a new, fighting leadership.”

We absolutely agree.

We have to start today.

This clip, taken from yesterday’s Class Struggle Update, looks at the failure of the Royal Mail dispute, the capitulation of the CWU and the effect the collapse has had on the union’s members.
