Summer Offensive

Striking figures
Royal Mail is not the only body hit by striking postal workers. One unfortunate side effect of the determination of Communication Workers Union members - particularly in London - to defend their conditions against the management onslaught is the lack of any delivery to the Weekly Worker for more than a week (no doubt readers will understand when this issue is late).

Just as I was beginning to hope that our special one-off target for October of £750 would be met, it now looks as though all those cheques and postal orders will be delayed until after the end of the month. However, thanks to our regular standing order donors, I do have an increase in our fund to report, taking our total up to £680 (thank you, DO, RW and PC).

There is still one way we can make this target before October is out. If you are reading this on the web, why not use our new PayPal facility to transfer what you can afford? Only a handful out of the thousands who read us online every week would do the trick. Last week 7,863 took a look at the Weekly Worker at www.cpgb.org.uk - if you are one, please consider making a donation.
