This strike wave that started last year, and has progressed across a wide range of sectors, is continuing to develop, with no end in sight. The government is being forced into making some concessions.
The class struggle in France is intensifying. Millions have mobilised against Macron raising the retirement age from 62 to 64. The LFI is linking the mass struggle to the parliamentary battle.
The strike wave is growing and the TUC is calling a day of national action on 1 February, in opposition to new anti-union laws.
Build support this mass anti-austerity struggle.
Everything possible, both within trade unions and from outside, should be done to build and support the wave of strikes.
The present Tory offensive is the biggest attack on the majority of the population in the lifetime of all except the very oldest in this country. The political stakes are that high.
The economic project of the Truss government overall has no prospects at all of meeting its stated aim of increasing the trend rate of growth in the economy.
The sole important obstacle to severe further damage to living standards, public services and wider society that are central to the project is the resistance being mounted by many trade unions and their members.
