Workers Revolutionary Party
THE LEADERSHIP of the Trade Union Congress, a body which includes 6.4 million workers and has the power to shut the entire country down with a general strike, has given up any semblance of a fight against the Tories and is now calling on them to bring in a âworkersâ budget!â
In an opinion piece in the Guardian newspaper yesterday, Frances OâGrady, general secretary of the TUC, wrote her article under the headline âRishi Sunak must deliver a workersâ budget to ensure a post-Covid recoveryâ.
Her headline would do credit to âAlice in Wonderlandâ.
Tory Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said in no uncertain terms that he is determined to âbalance the booksâ and with the UK in £2.1 trillion pounds-worth of debt, Sunak has indicated that the budget will include plans to begin to claw that debt back.
Third US COVID Vaccine on Verge of Approval Third US COVID Vaccine on Verge of Approval
The U.S. moved a step closer Friday to having another vaccine in its coronavirus arsenal, after an advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration unanimously endorsed Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose COVID vaccine.
Formal authorization for the vaccine could come in the next few days. The one-dose vaccine would become the third coronavirus inoculation approved by the FDA after the two-dose vaccines manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus went on television Friday to encourage African Americans to receive the COVID-19 inoculations.
Amid second wave of deaths: London bus drivers must form rank-and-file safety committees at all garages!
Fifty-nine London bus workers have died from COVID-19 in less than a year 17 since December alone according to new figures released by Transport for London (TfL).
This catastrophic death toll, and the trauma and loss for loved ones left behind, is the outcome of corporate neglect and the ruthless “herd immunity” policy of Boris Johnson’s Conservative government that places profit before lives.
Amid a cover-up of garage infections, the suppression of any effective track-and-trace system, or priority access to vaccinations, bus workers are falling victim to a second wave of preventable illness and death. Fatalities in just 12 weeks include four bus workers in December, 10 in January and three so far in February, according to TfL. Reports from garages indicate the number of deaths this month could be far higher.
Tighter and extended lockdown restrictions have meant the number of employees on furlough rose by 700,000 in January this year, despite the scheme's currently scheduled end on 30 April 2021.
