Facts For
Working People has put together a flier for the rally for the BART workers
today at Oscar Grant/Frank Ogawa Plaza. The rally is at 5.00pm. I see
the bosses' paper is doing its job well today pointing out that BART
workers' "big weapon" is the right to strike. This is a powerful weapon
if applied correctly and it is a weapon that workers have fought and
died for over a century; all workers and oppressed
people have gained from this weapon. They are preparing the ground for
its removal as a right. When compared to the bosses' "big weapon" of
course, it seems fairly mild: the police, the mass media that they own
like the Chronicle and the TV, the army, the politicians, the courts,
the troops who they will use against us as they have in the past and the
jails they put us in. This is the true nature of the conflict. Years
of concessions and cooperation on the part of the trade Union leadership
has led to nothing but increased aggression and further concessions. In
the last analysis, in capitalist society you have no rights if you have
no money. No home, no health care, no education etc. You're free to
starve.
It's time to Fight to Win for BART workers, our communities, our livelihoods and all workers, youth and the unorganized.
