Civil service gets a squeeze
From The Workers’ Weekly, paper of the Communist Party of Great Britain, February 19 1926
The miners, the railway workers, the seamen, and many other branches of industry are threatened. ‘Jix’ [home secretary Sir William Joynson Hicks] is trying to lower the standard of the London taxi drivers.
And now the civil servants! The new entrants into the civil service are to work eight hours instead of seven. The same trick as the railway companies used. Men working side by side, doing the same work under different conditions.
It’s all part of the bosses’ game to divide and destroy the workers’ organisations. It must be resisted!
Time is getting short. On March 21 the National Minority Movement’s Special Conference for Action will be held. It must be a real wide expression of the rank and file to stop the bosses’ attack!
From now on every worker must work untiringly to get his trade union branch and district committee, his trade council, his cooperative guild and society to send delegates to the Conference of Action ...
This is an urgent duty of every class conscious loyal worker.
Get those delegates elected now! And get your pals to do the same!
Talk about the conference wherever you go! There is no time to lose!
