Daar is op die oomblik internasionaal ‘n groot verandering in die vorm van kapitalisme na die “vrye mark” vorm. In Suid-Afrika het ons die regering se nuwe beleid: “GEAR” en kapitalistiese “industriële herstrukturering”. Dit gaan lei tot grootskaalse werksverlies, befondsingsbesnoeings vir hospitale en skole en ‘n grootskaalse aanval op vakbonde.

Staan die base teen!

Waarom het ons vakbonde nodig?

Vakbonde word gebou omdat dit vir werkers nodig is om saam te werk teen hul base, want die base buit die werkers uit: die werkers doen al die werk, maar die base vat die wins. Die base is ‘n minderheid wat op die werkers, die meerderheid, teer.

Die vakbonde gee mag aan die werkers deur hulle in een sterk organisasie te verenig en deur werkers te organiseer om die baas te kap waar dit die seerste maak, die bankrekening, omdat die vakbonde produksie,die bron van die base se rykdom, deur massa-aksie kan ontwrig.
