Capitalist “recovery” prepares massive assault on workers — Ontario workers fighting back | Fightback

Posted by Geoff on November 7th, 2009

Governments around the world have thrown billions upon billions toward trying to prop up the system. Now that the bourgeoisie is talking about “recovery,” it is the working class that will be made to pay.

However, we are beginning to see leftward moves in the labour movement that can lead a workers’ fightback against these attacks.
