Bristol Anarchist Bookfair and Kebele Economics Groups present:
Delivering action!
The UK’s postal workers have been the most militant workforce over the last decade. They now face a new threat of part privatisation from Lord Mandelson. They will be a key target as the cost of rescuing the banks crunches public spending.
Dave Chapple , chair of the Bristol Branch CWU will talk specifically about current struggles in the Royal Mail, in which Bristol is playing a key role, with 21 strike ballot requests waiting to be acted on in Bristol Delivery Offices alone; 160 London offices on strike on June 19th, and another 100 plus ballots in the rest of the country. Clearly, whether the industry is privatised or not, Royal Mail workers are not going to roll over easily….
We also hope to discuss how we might support postal workers when they are forced to take action - particularly those of us who are not in strong union branches.
Thursday July 9th 7:30 PM at Kebele , 14 Robertson Road, Easton

[Note: the summer Olympics 2012 are coming to London, and the same process is happening here - massive budget overspend to be covered by us taxpayers, massive profits for private contractors, more gentrification & exploitation & social control. What can we learn?] Read the rest of this entry »

Recent months have seen anarchists from across the country meeting to plan and organise an Anarchist Movement Conference for 2009. This will take place on 6 & 7 June at Queen Mary & Westfield College, in East London. So far there has been minimal interest in Bristol for the conference, perhaps because people have been busy? Will this change? Read the rest of this entry »
