Solidarity Trade Union’s Latest Successes in Representing British Workers
The independent nationalist union, Solidarity, last week represented two BNP members and a non-political Solidarity member at various tribunals and hearings. The record of Solidarity reps in standing up for their members is becoming impressive. Recently they’ve won holiday entitlement and sickness pay disputes, and got a threatened sacking reduced to a verbal warning.
This is particularly valuable for British National Party members, because we know from bitter experience that the only one of the old unions that will stand up for the right of its members to be in whichever political party they chose - including ours - is the actors’ union Equity. All the others will take your union dues but then dump you as soon as they find you’re in the BNP.
In addition to the bread-and-butter work of recruiting and representing members, Solidarity is also beginning to flex its muscles when it comes to exposing the pathetic pro-Labour regime surrender on pay shown by many leftist union leaders, who accept below-inflation pay settlements (in real terms, pay cuts) for their members, while generally awarding themselves bundles of extra cash out of union funds. Here is Solidarity’s latest press statement. At long last, a fighting union for people like us.
PAYING FOR THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS!
The Government’s reaction to Council workers strikes over pay was predictable. The mantra that ‘inflation’ must be controlled before anything else, first coined by Margaret Thatcher and followed by her disciple Gordon Brown, rests on the premise that price rises occur due to an increase in the money supply e.g. via wage increases. If people have more money in their pocket they will spend more thus pushing up prices and then wages etc. The upshot being economic instability and the ‘devaluation’ of assets e.g. savings.
Council workers want 6% and the Local Government Association(s) are offering 2.45%. The latter’s benchmark for calculating their offer is the Consumer Price Index (declared at 3.3% for May). However this index is severely flawed as it doesn’t monitor certain costs such as Council Tax and Mortgages (all of which have been soaring). Ex-PM John Major recently suggested that the real rate of inflation was between 8-10%.
WHO’S TO BLAME?
Given the credit-crunch (banking incompetence), fuel price rises (international speculators) and utility cost increases (the result of the Government selling our ‘assets’ off cheaply), the average worker is suffering. None of these problems are the result of pay increases but the actions of the Government or their ’shadowy’ friends. We say, why should the British worker pay for the incompetence of others?
AND WHO SHOULD PAY?
It is therefore our duty to support these (and no doubt other) reasonable pay demands. If the Government is concerned about ‘inflation’ then it must raise the money to pay for wage increases (or tax cuts) through ‘windfall’ taxes on speculators based or operating in the UK, the banks and those multi-national companies who have been ripping us off!

You need to stand on picket lines and distribute these leaflets at factory gates etc.
BNP 4 me
As one of the biggest critics of mainstream unions or should I say parasites, it is good to see a decent union representing decent people. I hope success continues.
It’s disgusting that BNP members are so discriminated against and harassed simply for expressing legitimate political opinions. About time that there was someone to stick up for them especially in such gloomy economic times. If the Government wants to know where to find the money, it could put a stop to immigration and save 26% of its expenditure, which goes on immigrant-related concerns.
Stuff the TGWU! I sent off for my union membership today.

Sent to Solidarity and not Unite one hopes Busdriver :-) - Ed
As I’m retired and living on a small pension I no longer need a union–I need divine intervention. Keep up the good work Solidarity. If you’re paying union dues to any other union, you’re indirectly helping the sort of people who tried to stop the BNP Sheffield meeting. Join Solidarity–you know it makes sense.
Got my membership card at the beginning of the week! Planning on leaving my old union pretty soon. I’m thinking about possibly becoming a rep. My colleagues definitely need an alternative to PCS!

Welcome aboard KGO from the BNP and hopefully Solidarity - Ed
Thatcher never made any sense. Anyone remember the “drip down economy”, which meant as long as millionaires made millions more, they’d spend it on gardeners, cleaners, pound shops etc? What rubbish. They’d spend it on foreign holidays and big red sports cars. The jury’s in. The only wages Thatcher wanted to keep down was that of the average worker, i.e. you and me. She even went as far as to exalt our “service culture”. Trouble with that is it’s kinda difficult to export and tends to need more imported waiters. Now Sponge-Gordon Brown-Pants wants to spend more public money on burying her. Well spotted, Gordon.
she made plenty of sense for her rich backers of course - Ed
Great to hear of Solidaritys latest successes. I joined around the start of June and the news teams report above fills me with confidence in my new union. My previous union was the GMB, who I think made it clear that they would not represent anyone who was a member of the BNP. The final straw for me was when I received the quarterly magazine some time ago from my previous union. On the cover was a picture of an Afro-Caribbean gentleman and the upshot of the story was that as a union, we should be doing more to help our ethnic brothers within the workplace, (Yeah, right! I dont think so). Anyway, that was enough for me. The greatest satisfaction is that the dues I pay do not go to Labour. One more thing, I have received more communications from Solidarity in the last month and a half than I did from my previous union in over a year.
By the way Ed, I meant my union card. I’ve had my BNP card for months and don’t go anywhere without it! Anyway, I’m going to send an e-mail to Solidarity so set the ball rolling. Got PCS’s monthly mag and current PCS reps are all for telling us that we’re “not poles apart” from the Polish and are on a big recruitment drive for more EU migrants…Goodbye British jobs. I think it’s about time for a union that actually speaks for the British Civil Service jobs.
