‘Scabs are the lowest form of life.

When you scab for the man, you cheat all workers out of better wages.’

Thanks to unions this man got protection.

The real education of the masses can never be separated from their independent political, and especially revolutionary, struggle. Only struggle educates the exploited class. Only struggle discloses to it the magnitude of its own power, widens its horizon, enhances its abilities, clarifies its mind, forges its will.

Note on Coronavirus epidemic

 The world has been going through a serious epidemy of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and as guided by World Health Organization, the best way to minimize the effects of the epidemy is the social isolation and quarantine. Like all crises, the poorest workers are the most affected. Many companies do not want to stop working and, consequently, prohibit the worker's right of quarantine. Many workers are being laid off, self-employed workers, street vendors and others workers categories are without income. There is also the case of immigrants in refugee camps and homeless people who has no access to minimum sanitary conditions to prevent the virus. Faced with this scenario of several attacks on the working class, the Global May Day Coordination could not fail to position itself on this new conjuncture and calls on the syndicats to carry out a worldwide campaign on the following axes:

1) For the right to quarantine to all workers who are not in essential services.

2) Decent sanitary working conditions for all workers in essential services.

3) For the right of a global basic income to all workers affected by the epidemy.

4) For the immediate suspension of water, electricity, cooking gas, telephone and internet bills.

5) For the immediate suspension of Rents.

May the rich pay for the crisis!
