The “No” vote at Ford

The decisive vote by Ford workers to reject the concessions contract worked out between the company and the United Auto Workers is a major advance not only for Ford workers, but for all auto workers and the working class as a whole, both in the US and internationally.

The way forward for Ford workers
Original article via World Socialist Web Site:
With votes tallied at factories employing more than a third of Ford’s 41,000 US workers, the concessions contract being pushed by the United Auto Workers appears headed for defeat.
If the deal is defeated, it will be the first time auto workers have turned down a national agreement recommended by the UAW since 1982.

The Last Stand of the Levellers
Original article, by Dudley Edwards, via In Defence of Marxism:
An interesting historical piece, pointing out that Revolutions sustained by the poor and working class can still end up just chainging one boss for the next.
It’s quite interesting and well worth the read.

Victory to the postal workers
Original article, by by Jane Loftus, Communications Workers Union president, via Socialist Worker (UK):
The workers for Royal Mail in England are on strike. Good for them, we should support them with our solidarity. Read President Loftus’ article and consider how the situation the CWU workers are facing compares with what’s happening in the States. If you agree that it sounds somewhat similar, it may be time to start considering worker action here in the US.
