WHOSE VIOLENCE ON THE PICKET LINE?

As you would expect, the employers are up to their usual distortions when they talk about "violence adopted by the NUGFW" in their expensive Press Advertisements.

Who employs the thugs brandishing guns and cutlasses to threaten workers defending their jobs? Carib!

Who employs guards with batons and guns? Carib!

Who puts in cameras to spy on picket camps? Carib!

Who uses the police to force scab labour through picket lines? Carib!

Who benefits when the Joint Patrol Task Force and Army turn up on the picket lines to intimidate workers? Carib!

Who is trying to starve 900 workers and their families into submission? Carib!

Who has the money and resources to buy whatever force they need? CARIB!!!

 

Peaceful pickets - or armed mercenaries for Carib? The employers complain about "aggressive posturing" from the Union - but what do you call this?
