attack BMA activists in the press and threaten to challenge the strike on the ridiculous basis that a call for solidarity to other trade unionists is a legal breach. We stand with the BMA junior doctors in their strike to defend our health service from a dangerous new contract. The backdrop to attempts to smear the doctors is the Tory Trade Union Bill, the biggest attack on our right to strike and organise for generations. We have to go all out to mobilise opposition, and our unions must up the ante and have a strategy to defeat the bill. We need to mobilise across the unions for the TUC week of action 8-14 February, with lunchtime rallies and walkouts.
Everyone must get behind
those fighting back against austerity, and bring solidarity to BMA junior doctors strikes to defend our NHS and the RMT & ASLEF London tube strikes set for January and February. Flashpoints will come when an employer attempts to implement the bill. We must be prepared to stand together and defend any union or group of workers who find themselves outside the law. Our union movement has defeated anti-union laws before, through utilising the power of mass strikes. We call on TUC and union leaders to build towards coordinated strikes to defend our unions.
