Stop Hutchison’s divide and rule tactics: restart the strike and fight for every job

In light of the return to work and then exclusion of some Hutchison workers, comrades in Solidarity have written an article about the way forward for Hutchison workers to beat the boss and defend every job. They say among other things:
The union has to be able to negotiate from a position of strength. The only sensible approach is to keep the workforce united; restart the strike action, and maximise the pressure on Hutchison’s.’

Maybe because she wasn’t in the union and didn’t fight for the union to defend jobs?

So a union would fight to oppose the introduction of computers?

It would fight to save jobs. I do however remember and honour the Luddites too. It would depend what the members in organising to defend jobs wanted to do and how they wanted to fight for their jobs. At least they fight, which the unions ad mainly non-unionised typists didn’t.

My mother was a typist. How come no one stood up for her job, and the jobs of thousands of other women in typing pools?
