Unions agree AUKUS job protection deal

Glenn Thompson of the Australian Shipbuilding Federation of Unions addressing CSEU delegates.

Unions representing shipbuilding, aerospace and defence workers have agreed a job and union protection agreement which was launched at the recent conference of UK trade union federation the CSEU.

The agreement was reached by the Australian Shipbuilding Federation of Unions, the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions in the UK, the AFL-CIO Metal Trades and IndustriALL Global Union. The agreement provides for unions to co-operate in ensuring union the representation of workers employed in the building,  build, and refurbishment of submarines and other vessels in Australia, UK and the USA.

The deal provides for workers seconded to sites outside their own countries to be represented by the appropriate trade unions in the host countries – from design to decommissioning of vessels; to build trade union power and influence and to ensure that workers in Australia, the UK and the USA are treated fairly , that the highest common standards apply, and co-ordinating trade union activities to maximise union power.

Workers seconded to another country will received union representation and have full access to local shop stewards and their union. 

The unions agreed to ensure that they take responsibility for future generations and that workers are treated with dignity and respect.

Glenn Thompson Australian Manufacturing Workers Union National Secretary and national convenor  of the Australian Shipbuilding Federation of Unions outlined details the deal to UK delegates in Birmingham and Ian Waddell, General Secretary of the CSEU told delegates that this was the first agreement of its kind connected with AUKUS and was a real breakthrough showing what can be done when unions work together. Also taking part in the signing of the deal were Atle Hoie General Secretary of Industrial Global Union and Anna Fenley director of regulatory and state policy of the United Steelworkers Union representing the AFL-CIO.

Under the AUKUS pact, the US and UK will share nuclear propulsion technology with Australia and the project is expected to create and safeguard thousands of highly skilled jobs and apprenticeships  in the three countries.

What’s in a name change – X marks the spot

The change of Twitter’s bird logo – named Larry after the US basketball player Larry Bird might seem strange and the name change to simply X (owned by X Corp) a bit sinister.

But it is not just a name change or rebrand – Elon Musk’s plan is to build a ‘super app’ modelled on those now powering ahead in South Asia is emerging – and explains why Musk was prepared to fork out $44 billion to buy Twitter. The  implications are massive.

Twitter now X will no longer just be a messaging service, that is clear. Its future is now focused on being a ‘super app’ providing services including on-line retail, payment and delivery services, content provision and messaging.

Elon Musk dismantled Twitter and sacked 50% of of its worldwide staff while reducing moderation of its content, with the subsequent growth in fake news, rumours and abuse. It earned revenue for its ‘blue tick’ verification which was branded a gimmick, and limiting the number of messages Twitter users can read.

Super apps are now rampaging ahead in South Asia  including China’s WeChat and Moj, India’s PayTM, Indonesia’s Golek and Singapore’s Grab which now provide on-line shopping, booking tickets for gigs and events, booking taxis and ride services, making cashless payments, personal communications and booking parcel collection and delivery.

WeChat like Twitter, was originally a social media platform, but today it offers a wide range of services not just messaging but payment and many other services and has around 1.3 billion users in China alone. Estimates are they spend a third of their waking lives using the super app.

Dedicated Twitter users may be moving to Meta’s Threads platform but if Musk’s gamble  works the switch to the X super app will become dominant, leaving those without the technology or ability to afford it in the rear view mirror, the technologically left behinds creating bigger gap between the have and have nots.

There are also significant implications for jobs and job security, lines will be blurred. Pundits say to expect a growth in ‘one stop’ SME’s using the super app, but the acceleration of technology concentrated in the hands of one person is a frightening prospect.

As Louisa Bull Unite National Officer for the Graphical, Paper, Media & IT and Services Sectors says: “We have gone from the world of media ownership in the hands of a few to our minds and purchasing power being in the hands of a minority of extremely powerful influencers.”

Unite delegates overwhelmingly reject disaffiliation from UK Labour Party

Sharon Graham, Unite General Secretary

Brighton UK: Following a passionate and ‘well-tempered’ debate at Unite’s rules conference today (Monday 10th July) the union which is the Labour Party’s biggest affiliate has overwhelmingly rejected proposals that would have resulted in the union disaffiliating from Labour.

An Executive Council statement made it clear the the consequences of backing proposals that would have allowed the union to make contributions and support other parties and groups would have lead to Unite automatically being expelled from the party.

The vote to support the EC statement (see above) was overwhelming.  

Speaking in the debate Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said there would be “no blank cheques” for Labour as there had been in the past:

“This is the moment of maximum leverage for the union where we can hold Labour to account. Now cannot be the time to walk away. We would be weakening our own arm.

 “It would be the worst time to leave the Labour Party when they are in touching distance of power, if we leave we wouldn’t influence that power.

“Labour must be Labour and the union must push them into that position we must make them take different choices. We will not make the same mistakes of the past there will be no blank cheques for Labour until we see tangible results.”

Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Labour Party is due to address delegates who represent the Labour Party’s biggest affiliate on Thursday

Turkey Elections: HDP – Green Left Party: “We made an effort to open the door to democracy”

“We have witnessed an unfair election marked by violations of basic democratic rules, which took place under the repressive conditions of the one-man regime.”

Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Mithat Sancar and Green Left Party co-spokespersons Çiğdem Kılıçgün Uçar and İbrahim Akın held a press conference on the presidential run-off elections. here is their statement in full:

According to the preliminary results of the presidential election, Erdoğan received 52 per cent of the votes in the run-off for the highest office in the country on Sunday, while his challenger Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu of the CHP came in at just under 48 per cent. According to Akın, this was a clear expression of the people’s will for a change of system despite all the repression.

“We have witnessed an unfair election marked by violations of basic democratic rules, which took place under the repressive conditions of the one-man regime,” said Green Left Party co-speaker İbrahim Akın. Akın criticised unfair conditions in the run-up to the election and state manipulation. “There was no free media, no independent judiciary. State resources were used in favour of the incumbent and a troll army on the net, in the service of the palace propaganda apparatus, by creating deep-fake content and spreading disinformation in the form of information pollution, has repeatedly made it clear that the election was not fair.”

‘Our people did not step back’
Akın said: “We have expressed and defended that the main thing in these elections was to change the regime. We made an effort to open the door to democracy by offering realistic promises to a society faced by a choice between authoritarianism or democracy. With this strategy and our fight accordingly, we stopped Erdoğan in the first round. In the second round, we continued with the same strategy with the aim of changing the regime. The results show that our voters have resolutely supported our party’s policies and goals, and have strongly expressed their will in this direction. The vote preference for Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu in 16 regional provinces where most Kurds  live was as high as it was on 14 May. Despite all the pressure and dirty propaganda, our people did not take a step back.”

Akın thanked the Kurdish people and all the voters of the Green Left Party for expressing their desire for change and democracy in line with their party policies and hailed their stance and struggle. At the same time, he was self-critical. It is necessary to analyze and work through the causes of the election results and draw the consequences, Akın said. “This is a requirement of our responsibility to our people and our tradition of struggle. In the heat of the struggle, we must keep one thing in mind: If the so-called People’s Alliance persists in its strategy of encircling and suppressing society, which it has been practicing especially since 2015, the hyper-crisis in Turkey with its economic, social and political dimensions will open the door to a major collapse.”

Against these policies and practices, the Green Left Party and HDP want to continue to defend society and its rights with all their strength and fight in all fields, Akın elaborated. “With all our deputies, we will defend the principles of democracy, peace, justice, equality and freedom under the umbrella of parliament and take our resistance for a democratic republic to the next level. Therefore, the main task of the political actors:in Turkey is to change the current system, which is clearly blocked, polarizes the society and destroys the foundations of democracy. With the 100th anniversary of the Republic in mind, it is crucial that we work together to create a civil and democratic constitution.”

Society and politics are not hopelessly at the mercy of the downward spiral, but have the chance to consciously and actively intervene in the process of change, Akın stressed. Green Left Party and HDP are ready in any case, he said: “We are here. We will continue the democratic struggle for change both in parliament and in all other areas of life, we will make democratic politics grow. We will not deviate from this path. With the base of society, we will fight and win together.”

Brexit – a project led by nationalist far right forces who wanted to divide UK workers

By Simon Dubbins Unite International Director

Brexit was always a project led by nationalist far right forces who wanted to divide UK workers.

 With Europe and the world at the most dangerous moment since World War II, it’s essential that we fully engage in all the issues set out in this section.  

But coming from a 1 million strong UK union how can I not mention Brexit and the devastating effect that is having on the UK’s economy and society. 

And I want to stress this, as Owen Reidy from the Irish Congress Of Trade Unions said a couple of days ago, although the UK has left the EU – our trade union movement has most certainly not left Europe or the European trade union movement! 

Brexit was always a project led by nationalist far right forces who wanted to divide UK workers from their brother and sisters on the continent – and we must all continue to work tirelessly to stop that happening! 

It’s in all our interests to stop the UK becoming a deregulated haven for business – so we really need you to keep the pressure up from the EU side. 

If the UK starts to violate the level playing field provisions of the TCA – then the EU must act and act fast to stop it! 

And make no mistake – this battle is a long way from over yet! 

Having driven the UK off the Brexit cliff – the UK government is now busy attacking workers by holding pay down and restricting even further our rights to strike. 

And as the next election approaches there is no doubt at all that they will turn up the racist and anti-migrant rhetoric further. 

But UK workers are fighting back to defend their living standards in the biggest strike wave in over 40 years – and the union movement will continue to fight back and resist. 

But our cooperation and involvement with each other on European issues can and must go much further. 

Because what happens on the continent of Europe will still have a massive impact on us whether the UK is in or out of the EU. 

And what happens in the UK will also have a massive impact on you. 

So I assure you that we will continue to be part of the struggle to stop the rise of racism and the far right in Europe. 

We will continue be part of the struggle for a just transition to protect jobs and European manufacturing. 

We will continue to be part of the struggle to maintain and develop a social Europe. 

And we will continue to be part of the struggle to push for more equality and social justice at the global level. 

Aa class and a union movement, our job is always to resist division, to continue to fight for solidarity and unity, and to continue to move forward together. 

My union, Unite, will remain fully involved in IndustriALL-Europe, and indeed in all the other 5 European federations we are in, we will carry on fighting with you for the Europe that all our members need.

Artificial Intelligence Is A Collective Bargaining Issue

Unite National Officer for the Graphical Paper, Media and IT Sector and the Service sector Louisa Bull tells the European TUC that companies in AI have a  business model that is based on the exploitation of its workers.

Like any technological change the key to ensuring worker participation and protection within the process, is to make it an integral part of our collective bargaining.

In doing so we ensure that we negotiate agreements about the introduction, application, and governance of any technological change and right now one of those is algorithmic management tools in the workplace. 

Unions need to make sure that they are aware of what surveillance and performance monitoring tools are actually being used in our workplaces and how they are replacing human intervention.  It is never acceptable to pass off responsibility for key decisions to non-human agents and yet that is happening.

Algorithms should advise, and humans should decide,  it is that simple –  and yet we have much still to do in stopping this trend as our sister Sarka from the women’s committee explained yesterday afternoon.

Uni Europa has recently produced a guide on algorithm management and this has helped to inform the work of our affiliates.  My own federation the TUC has done great work on this as well in producing a strong manifesto for workplace bargaining  and in producing e-learning tools for reps in the UK

The second area in which we need to be vigilant is in the services sector where digital labour platform companies have grown exponentially -particularly since the pandemic- and often with a business model that is based on the exploitation of its workers. 

The use of bogus self-employment and the avoidance of employers’ responsibilities towards workers and the state is a dangerous trend that must be stopped. UNI Europa has been working with its affiliates to strengthen their capacity to organise and bargain collectively in the platform economy and has been engaged in the effort at the European Union level to have adequate legislation that protects workers.

Finally, UNI Global Union, and us in UNI Europa are a leading voice in the large coalition of actors loudly telling Jeff Bezos and Amazon to end union busting practices, Amazon embodies in one company most of the risks that the trade union movement is facing: algorithmic surveillance, platformisation, bogus self-employment and union busting.  Organising and delivering trade union collective rights to workers across the new digital and tech sectors, giving everyone a strong collective voice.  

This is not an easy task but globally we are hopeful having seen recent growth within Google and the signing of the first EWC this year that included workers from both the UK and Switzerland was a great success.  

In the UK along with our sister union the CWU we are now building for recognition and collective bargaining.  So it is possible to win but we have to work together to make this happen.

Louisiana Bull’s speech to the European TUC Congress May 24th.

Happy May Day!


By Barry Camfield

In the face of a world in crisis, I thought I would write this little message of hope and encouragement to my good comrades in celebration of May Day. (Apologies for the homily!)

“Workers of the world unite” said Karl Marx and he was right! Let us break the chains that tie us down across the world. If Capitalism is the question, Socialism is the answer. We need to stand up for socialist ideas, argue and agitate for socialism against cynicism and despair, with courage, without fear!

May Day is International Workers Day and it reminds us all of our common struggle to redistribute income, wealth and power from the rich and elite to ordinary working class families. Whilst there are many separate struggles against various forms of discrimination and bigotry in our world today, real and lasting progress will surely only come when all working class peoples come together and unite for a radically different future, a socialist future for all humanity, regardless of age, nationality, race, gender, religion, sexuality and more.

 There lays power! 

May Day stands as a beacon of hope, for the coming together of the world’s common peoples in a united struggle for social justice, for trade union freedom, for the very saving of our planet and yes, for an end to massive private wealth and profits in the face of further growing poverty. Capitalism destroys, exploits, divides and is rotten to the core. But May Day calls out to us to reject Capitalism, in favour of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, which in turn will see quality public services grow, public ownership grow and at last, working class families flourish.

Trade unions across the world are increasingly seeing that non political trade unionism is a blind alley, and leading the way for workers. Workers need political parties that stand alongside them, fight with them and for them, unashamedly socialist in nature. Social Justice through a socialist future awaits if we have the courage and foresight to fight for it.

After all, we are many, they are few!

Happy May Day, keep up the fight!

Giant German Union To Demand 32 Hour Working Week

The German trade union IG Metall (IGM), Europe’s largest trade union, will be demanding an 4 day, 32 working week without loss of pay ahead of the next collective bargaining round for the steel, metalworking and electrical industries due to take place in November this year.

“We want to achieve real relief for workers without having them earn less because of it,” said IGM North Rhine-Westphalia’s Chief Negotiator Knut Giesler ahead of collective bargaining negotiations in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Hesse and Bremen.

Pattern bargaining in the metalworking, steel and electrical industries commences with negotiations in North Rhine-Westphalia, which knocks onto other German regions establishing a new nationwide agreement that applies to the whole of the German metalworking and electrical industries and is closely watched by Government’s and politicians throughout Europe.

Giesler argued that shorter hours will greatly improve workers’ health and quality of life while at the same time making the industry more attractive to younger workers and combatting expected job losses in in a shift towards the green transition.

Speaking to the Westdeutsche Allgemeine newspaper  Giesler outlined to the plan for the introduction of a four-day, 32-hour work week without loss of pay. This would be a reduction from the current 35-hour week.  The change would likely require a phase-in period, said Giesler.

The president of IG Metal Jorg Hofmann added that the union had already implemented the 4-day week as a collectively agreed option for temporarily reducing working hours or as an instrument for safeguarding employment for many employees. This is a next step toward an attractive industrial working world that allows life and work to be combined well.

Profits in the German manufacturing sector are booming in foundries, engineering, autos, electronics, and defence. Profit margins for Mercedes and BMW, and electronics firms Siemens and Bosch were all estimated between 12-15% in 2022, with Volkswagen looking at an 8% increase.

Rheinmetall, ThyssenKrupp, KMW and MBDA all saw increased revenues in the billions as orders soared in the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Review of A Glorious History – The History Of The Print & Papermkaing Unions Of The UK and Ireland.

By journalist and broadcaster Nicholas Jones.

Probably no other industry can match printing and publishing for the strength and intensity of the collective action which has been exercised over several centuries as workers have had to organise themselves to adjust to repeated changes in industrial and employment practices. 

A Glorious History provides a page-turning kaleidoscope of the countless guilds, societies, associations and trade unions that came and went across the country as printers, bookbinders and assorted paper makers struggled to protect their pay and conditions. 

Exploitation was commonplace in the early years. Some printing works were manned largely by boys and apprentices. Cheap labour led to widespread abuse and ill health.

One statistic from the book’s introduction leapt from the page:

“Two decades into the twentieth century, conditions were still so bad in printing establishments that the death rate from tuberculosis was 1:3, whereas the national rate was 1:7.”

Here was a vivid reminder of a hidden family secret: my grandfather George Gibson, who at the age of 12 started work for a printer in Sheffield, developed a lung condition that by his mid-twenties had advanced to become tuberculosis and he was sent for treatment to a sanatorium in the Isle of Wight.

Such was the public fear and suspicion around tuberculosis – and the handicap this presented to future employment – that after a near-death experience no further mention was made of his illness outside the family.

Echoes of my grandfather’s teenage years in the printing industry appear on page after page of A Glorious History with its vivid illustrations of the artefacts and memorabilia of the time: notices of indentures; early guild and trade union badges and cards; union banners; posters for public meetings and strikes – a compendium of images reflecting struggles that spanned two and a half centuries.

Laid out in the book is the timeline of the haphazard but clearly determined way in which workers across a myriad of kindred trades organised themselves to fight for shorter hours and better pay. 

Grandfather Gibson trained as a hand compositor and the book’s authors – Tony Burke and Ann Field — capture the transformation that took place when hand composition was overtaken by the introduction of linotype machines.

A generation of highly paid craftsmen were reduced to penury. Gibson, like so many of his compatriots, went cross country, from job to job, seeking work, for ever reducing rates of pay and worsening conditions.

On leaving school, he started on 4 shillings a week, plus a penny an hour overtime, working from 8am to 7pm. Over the next three years he had jobs at various printing establishments in the city, the last being at the offices of the Sheffield Evening News which collapsed within a year of its launch.

George Gibson – Apprentiship Indentures

In 1887, at the age of 16, he became a bound apprentice at the Sheffield print works of A T Bescoby on 7 shillings a week, rising by 1 shilling and sixpence a year until he was 21.

Replicas of parchment indentures just like Gibson’s, written in pen and ink, complete with red seals and numerous signatures, are reproduced in A Glorious History.

Again, his experience as an apprentice, which he wrote up in a diary, tallies with so many of the personal accounts related in the book.

“I served that apprenticeship and was sacked immediately it ended. Mr Bescoby ran his establishment on apprentices, and as soon as they became entitled to a man’s wage, they went.”

Losing his job in February 1883 was the “very worst time the working printer had ever known” because the linotype machine which had just been introduced could do three or four times the work of the hand compositor.

“Within a few months thousands of these were out of work all over the country. The composing room staff on the Sheffield Telegraph was reduced from about 50 to 18 men on linotypes, and men who had been picking up £5 a week, and driving home in hansom cabs, were soon penniless.”

For the next few years Gibson was out in and out of work; a week here on a rush job, two or three weeks unemployed, and then another week or two out of work.

Gibson’s final job in the print was in Wales, as an overseer at the Radnorshire Standard in Llandrindod Wells, where his lung condition worsened, and he contracted tuberculosis. 

Accounts of what precisely happened are rather sketchy. His health was said to have “completely broken down”; his life was in “serious danger”; and he was taken to hospital on a stretcher having been told he had “only a few weeks to live”.

He was admitted to the Royal National Hospital for Consumption in Ventnor, Isle of Wight, in November 1899, aged 28, having lost five to six pounds of flesh, and was “still feeble” the following April after a “sharp haemorrhage, very protracted”. 

There is no record of when he was discharged but on his return to Llandrindod Wells, he was advised to get work out of doors and he became an agent going house to house to get orders for a local steam laundry.

One document among Gibson’s correspondence is a clue perhaps to his recovery. 

Letter from the Sheffield Typographical Society accepting George Gibson’s union membership.

On completing his apprenticeship at Bescoby’s printing works in February 1892, he was accepted as a member of the Sheffield Typographical Society for a 5 shilling entrance fee and a weekly subscription of three pence.

In those pre-NHS days, only the fortunate benefited from specialist treatment, and he was one of the very few printworkers treated at Ventnor.

I wonder whether it was the Typographical Society which paid for his stay in hospital, or least contributed to the cost.

Perhaps for their next book on the printing industry, Tony Burke and Ann Field, might have an opportunity to explore when and how these early guilds, associations and unions built up funds to help sick and injured members.     

In 1979, Nick  Jones became BBC’s Labour and Trade Union Affairs Correspondent. In 1980 BBC Labour Correspondent, followed by BBC Political Correspondent, based at Westminster.

‘A Glorious History, covers the history of trade unionism in the printing, bookbinding and papermaking in the UK and Ireland and is published by Unite, 128 Theobalds Road, London WC1X 8TN, by Tony Burke, former assistant general secretary of Unite and deputy general secretary of GPMU and Ann Field, former national officer of GPMU and Unite.

A Glorious History:  The Printing and Papermaking Trade Unions In The  UK & Ireland

For the first time the story of print and paper workers’ struggle for rights and trade union freedoms is brought together in one illustrated volume. From the resources of the Printworkers’ Collection at the Marx Memorial Library and Workers’ School, the 72-page book brings together the experiences and exploits of print and paper worker agitation spanning 250 years.  

An introductory overview leads the reader to chapters on specific issues and trade union organisation showing how, in co-operation and sometimes in competition, trade unionists fought against poverty, injustice and exploitation. Graphic events are described from the days of imprisonment and transportation of the early trade unionists through to the major struggles for better conditions and later against attacks on jobs and recognition.

Most of the material for this booklet has been gathered from histories that were written after many of the most essential of workers’ trade union rights and collective liberties had been won: immunity from prosecution for strike action, picketing rights, ability to protect 100% membership (the closed shop). Struggles for basic rights were referred to as history, not battles yet to be fought. Twentieth century establishment of negotiating processes with employers and agreed referral to government-approved conciliation mechanisms including government ministers are in stark contrast to the contempt for trade unions and workers’ rights by employers and Government today.
