ommon sense, as any good dialectician will point out, tells you that the Earth is flat. That’s probably why it’s held in such disdain by so many adherents of materialist dialectics. Sometimes though it has its uses and this “Agreement on Protocol Agreed Between Right to Work Campaign and Coalition of Resistance Steering Committees” demonstrates one of them.
In recognition that there are over-lapping ‘footprints’ for the two organisations and that cordial relations are important if we are to build a mass movement capable of taking on the government, it was agreed that both sides would return to their respective committees with the following proposals:
1. That each organisation will appoint a contact liaison officer
2. That there would be national co-ordinating meetings as and when required
3. That each organisation would attempt to co-ordinate on
meeting dates etc
4. That we would support the biggest possible joint union demonstration if called by national unions
5. That CoR will attend the 5 December R2W forum
6. That R2W are invited to participate, speak etc on 27 November
and COR to speak at RTW Conference in Sheffield
7. That both campaigns would work with Labour Party members who supported the aims of the campaigns
8. That we will co-ordinate on stunts (e.g. Vodafone)
9. That we will organise joint meetings, lobbies and events
10. That we will publicise each other’s meetings, lobbies and events
11. That we will consider a joint week of action/local activities in first week of February
12. That we are witnessing a mushrooming of local anti-cuts
campaigns but that there still needed to be a national focus
13. That we would work hard to build the biggest possible TUC 26
March demo
14. That we would both participate in a meeting with NSSN, Peoples Charter, R2W, CoR and support a ‘non-aggression pact’.
