The leaders of the trade unions have therefore to face this position, either to accept the full implications of the present situation, which means they must become a class leadership and organise a class fight, or they must become the agents of capitalism and co-operate with the capitalists in an endeavour to reconstruct “peacefully" the capitalist system.
Harry Pollitt in response to (Lord) W.M Citrine published by The Minority Report in 1928
If the Communists get control of the trade unions it will be because the workers believe in their policy, and naturally this woukd tend to a closer relationship between the Communist Party and the trade unions; but in order to prevent the workers having any opportunity of expressing their desire for electing a new leadership, the Citrine clique resort to every conceivable unconstitutional action.
Harry Pollitt in response to (Lord) W.M Citrine published by The Minority Report in 1928.
Workers who have this “sincere feeling for the welfare of the trade union and Labour movement" have long realised that socialism has been abandoned as the objective of the trade union and Labour movement, and that all tactics, policy and leadership have been deliberately directed towards bringing about this abandonment. This is reflected in the Liberalising of the Labour Party, the expulsion of Communists and left-wing workers from the trade unions, the General Strike betrayal, and the surrender on all issues of wages and hours, culminating in the present negotiations with the Mon group and the pursuit of class peace instead of class struggle.
Harry Pollitt in response to (Lord) W.M Citrine published by The Minority Report in 1928.
If congress should proceed to make a declaration to the effect that we are in favour of a forty-four-hour working week, it will serve as a counter-boom against the coming offensive of the employers. It has been stated on many occasions this week that attack is the best line of defence.
