Comrades from the North East Attended a memorial for International Workers Memorial Day.
Work under capitalism is fundmentally injurious to all workers. Be it physically from overwork, dangerous chemicals or a lack of health and safety or mental with stressful work environments, low pay leading to concerns over making ends meet or unpaid overtime.
These terrible working conditions are fundamental to capitalism as a system as it squeezes as much profit as possible out of each worker. We heard many speakers talk about the important role that trade unions have played in making conditions better, and of course we fully support that tireless work to defend the working class, but without system change they are fighting an endless uphill battle.
Fixing capitalism is a sisyphean task, instead we must build the forces to smash the system itself to free us from the exploitation. If that at all interests you or you have any questions please get in touch!
