Fighting for our future: Ongoing struggles against big business and New Labour

By Mr Michael Barker

The struggle for democracy in workplaces and political organisations across Britain is a work in progress. Snapshots of these battles are illustrated by three examples. The first examines the ongoing attempts by factory workers employed by food manufacturing giant Samworth Brothers to demand the right to collective bargaining. Next, using Leicester as a case study, this book scrutinises why New Labour dominated city councils continue to refuse to build a united fightback against Tory austerity. And finally, a positive example of organising against austerity, which documents a recent campaign that was waged successfully by the Fire Brigades Union, is provided.
