The decision to make redundant all of ‘Aer Lingus’ 1,200 cabin crew (270 permanently) and then rehire most on a lower wage and longer working hours, has been met with fierce resistance from the 1,000 strong IMPACT union at the airline.

 Last week, on March 11, Greece was shaken by an even bigger general strike than on February 24. As the government announced its third austerity package the mood of Greek workers has become one of growing anger and militancy. All the conditions are there for a massive escalation of the conflict.

The final part of the document deals with the question of the National Question today. It covers a number of areas including the situation in Euskadi and in the north of Ireland. The document also includes as an appendix the Preliminary Draft Theses on the National and the Colonial Questions from the Second Congress of the Third (Communist) International
At the time of writing the Good Friday Agreement had just been signed. The argument that Alan Woods and Ted Grant make in repect of the position within Irish Republicanism is very clear and is as valid today as it was in 2000. In the past period the ferment in side Sinn Fein has been reflected in a trickle of defections. As the ecomonic crisis begins to have a greater effect politically in the north we can anticipate increasing class divisions and greater contradictions within the Sinn Fein and the Unionists. Over time the gaping vaccuum in working class political representation in the north will be overcome.

"The working woman and the peasant woman are oppressed by capital, but over and above that, even in the most democratic of the bourgeois republics, they remain, firstly, deprived of some rights because the law does not give them equality with men; and secondly - and this is the main thing - they remain in "household bondage", they continue to be “household slaves", for they are overburdened with the drudgery of the most squalid, backbreaking and stultifying toil in the kitchen and the family household." V.I.Lenin, March 4, 1921
