Britain’s pseudo-left promotes corporatism in Jacobs Douwe Egberts “fire and rehire” dispute
Unite has called off strikes and overtime bans by nearly 300 Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE) coffee workers at Banbury in Oxfordshire as the union moves to betray their eight-week fight against “fire and rehire”.
In a statement published Friday Unite announced a “de-escalation process”, with Joe Clarke, Unite national officer for the food industry, explaining, “This will mean Unite suspending the current planned industrial action for the next fortnight and JDE agreeing to push back the implementation date for the ‘fire and rehire’ proposals until 13 September. Our members will be working normally during this period.”

WRP General Secretary FRANK SWEENEY addressing the May Day rally
âIT IS our international duty to organise the overthrow of the capitalist system here in Britain,â WRP General Secretary Frank Sweeney told the 100-strong Workers Revolutionary Party and Young Socialists May Day Rally in Kensington Memorial Park, west London on Saturday afternoon.
Sweeney said: âThis May Day we especially send support to the Palestinian people who for seven decades have refused to bend the knee.
âThe Palestinians have stuck to their principles and kept their national identity intact. Their resistance has now created a revolutionary situation within the Zionist state of Israel. Forward to the Palestinian revolution. Create a Palestinian state, where Muslims, Jews, Christians and anybody else can live in peace.
