SOCIALIST ALLIANCE TRADE UNION SOLIDARITY COMMITTEE 6 November 2002
Dear Comrade As you may or may not be aware, a great step has been taken toward socialist unity through the formation of the Socialist Alliance. Eight separate socialist organisations have put aside their differences in order to build Socialist Alliance. Already it has branches throughout Australia and a total membership of more than 2500. The Victorian Socialist Alliance has set up the Trade Union Solidarity Committee. This committee is open not only to Socialist Alliance members but to any trade unionists that wish to fight for democratic rank and file run unionism. It aims to provide a forum for unionists from all unions to come together and swap experiences and develop strategies and perspectives for taking the movement forward. We plan to hold regular monthly meetings that aim to both organise and educate. If you would like to be notified of our meetings please ring Simon Millar on 9386 5917 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will place you on our contact list. NEXT MEETING IS ON TUESDAY 19 NOVEMBER AT 6.30PM AT THE VICTORIAN TRADES HALL OLD BALLROOM. THE SPEAKER IS TOM O’LINCOLN ON “BUILDING MILITANT RANK & FILE UNIONISM” TOM WILL TALK ABOUT HOW THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF AUSTRALIA ORGANISED IN THE 1930S THROUGH THE MILITANT MINORITY MOVEMENT. Everyone is welcome!
