Re: [Marxism] British Wildcat Strike Wave?

["Paddy Apling" <e.c.apling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This message makes a very good point - what we have here is an entirely new 
concept of the freedom of movement of capital and its operations:

not only was the Italoian company given a contract to do the job - 
completely OK under EC regulations and law;
but they have brought their workforce over to carry out the contract - 
accomodating them, I understand, in the ship which brought them.

Imagine the outcry if the Honda car factory over here was organised with the 
importation of workers from Japan as the complete complement of workers in 
the plant.

No wonder there are protests - which, of course, in whicht he BNP is trying 
to intervene with its obnoxious racist ideas.
