Capitalism is in deep crisis in Ireland and the working class is under attack
On Saturday tens of thousands of workers will be marching through Dublin, Ireland demanding that the public sector pay cut ('pension levy') imposed by the government to pay for the capitalist crisis be withdrawn. Over the last couple of weeks there have been dozens of local union meetings of workers in the public sector, demanding strike action to halt the cuts. The march will be a chance not only to put pressure on the government but also to demand that our unions do the only thing that can halt the cuts - call a national strike. Below is the text of the leaflet we are distributing, personal opinion pieces from members on the growing resistance to the cuts and background articles and video on the crisis.
