	Workers Power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Workers Power is an orthodox Trotskyist group, affiliated to the League for the Fifth International, which they were prime movers in founding.
		In 1980 Workers Power abandoned their position that the 'socialist states' were state capitalist and adopted the idea that they were deformed workers states.
		They left the Socialist Alliance in 2003 as in their opinion the Socialist Workers Party was bureaucratically destroying the political independence of that body through its subjection to the then new Respect coalition which Workers Power held to be populist and non socialist in nature.

	DSP Program - Workers' democracy and the defence of workers' power
		The capacity for self-defence and the armed strength of a workers' state are increased by a high level of political understanding and conviction on the part of the masses; a high level of political activity, mobilisation and alertness; and internationalist education and activity.
		Workers' democracy in the workers' states would exercise an increasing power of attraction on the exploited masses of the capitalist countries, undermining the military strength of imperialism.
		This is the best means to mobilise the power of the workers and their allies; heighten their social responsibility, self-discipline and fighting spirit; raise their self-confidence, consciousness, creativity, and their conviction in their capacity to advance toward socialism; and increase their active support of and participation in the administration of their own state.

	Passionate voice for workers' power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		It became the focus for discussion among the city's workers about how to give concrete form to the sort of organisation they needed to take control of society-on how to build workers' councils which would unite the whole of the working population against the ruling class and its state.
		The workers in Turin's factories were increasingly relying in their everyday struggle not on relatively remote full time union officials, but on local elected representatives, the members of what were called "factory commissions".
		Workers already knew how to elect people they could trust-and how to rescind their election the moment they betrayed that trust.

	Bureaucratism or Workers' Power
		The document 'Bureaucratism or Workers' Power' was written by Ted Grant together with Roger Silverman in 1967 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Russian revolution.
		Workers who were suspected of supporting the Opposition were fllisted, and as many as a million were unemployed in 1927, when courageous demonstrations were held in defence of the Opposition in Moscow and Leningrad.
		First the rifles of the peasantry were turned on to the urban workers to consolidate the bureaucracy and placate the capitalists (who were paid long term dividends as compensation for nationalisation) then on to the landlords with a demagogic mobilisation of the toiling masses.

	[No title]
		Workers rely primarily on market mechanisms (changing jobs) as a way of expressing dissatisfaction with pay or working conditions; while they may have collective associations (unions), they do not engage in active struggles to collectively pressure capitalists for improvements; nor do they engage in political struggle to advance workers interests against those of capitalists.
		For capitalists, cooperation with workers means paying workers as much as is possible compatible with maintaining a rate of profit sufficient to reproduce the firm; accepting workers' organizations (unions and parties) and responding to worker demands over working conditions; and moderating their own consumption in favor of employment-generating investment.
		If the relationship between workers' power and capitalists' interests were the simple inverse relationship of Figure 1, then class compromises would always be relatively fragile and vulnerable to attack, for capitalist interests would always be served by taking advantage of opportunities to undermine workers power.

	Workers Power Global \| Australian election
		This government would be run by workers' councils and defended by the armed power of workers themselves.
		It would be a government that could defeat the bosses and their state with workers' power and open the door to a new society: socialism.
		This means winning the rank and file soldiers to the workers' side, helping them to organise rank and file soldiers' committees, to secure the democratic election of their officers, get-ting arms from them for the workers.

	Workers' power: the only alternative
		Although these factors have caused a momentary pause in the mass struggle of the workers, unemployed, women, youth and popular assemblies, after the frenetic activity of the first few weeks that followed the popular insurrection in December, the heartbeat of the movement remains as strong as ever.
		Today, never has the demand for the nationalisation of the pharmaceuticals companies and multinationals under workers' control been more relevant, so that they may be used for the good of the community and working families and not to generate profits for a handful of speculators.
		It is perfectly correct to make such a demand, but it must be explained to unemployed workers that this is no real alternative for their families, despite the fact that it seems to be the main aim of the piqueteros' organisations, the CCC and the FTV-CTA.

	The struggle of power plant workers against privatization will never stop!
		However, the power plant workers were adamant in their resistance against privatization, and we did not relent to the threats of the management.
		Privatization policies are the core of neoliberal restructuring, yet the government and the management underestimated the power of the workers because the union was new.
		The corporatists propagated that the workers should return to work when the union and the workers were fully resisting against the government and the management, that the strike had failed, and badmouthed union leaders.

	eLCOSH : Protecting Construction Workers from Power Lines
		Many workers are unaware of the potential electrical hazards in their work environment, making them more vulnerable to the danger of electrocution.
		All too often, workers die during what appears to be accident-proof activity: unloading supplies from a truck, moving ladders from the side of a structure, adding the final touches to a roofing job—all while near power lines.
		Most workers electrocuted by coming into contact with overhead power lines are working with cranes, working on scaffolds, or using ladders.

	WORKERS' POWER IS NO MATCH FOR ELECTRICITY
		This left the remaining workers without union representation, and the retrenchment package they have been given is just a month's salary and one week's salary for every year worked.
		The company was ordered to pay the workers for the past 12 months and he feels that it timed the closure announcement to deny the workers their victory and ensure that they do not come back to the factory.
		Other workers said that the company's managers should have retained the Durban plant since the region's economy was in worse shape than that of Gauteng.

	Fifth Wheel Internationalists
		Workers Power’s leading members no doubt imagine that dropping the label Trotskyist is a clever “tactical” maneuver that will bring them closer to the anti-globalizers.
		The January 2003 issue of Workers Power proclaimed: “revolutionaries are not afraid to say that we positively want Iraq to defeat the attacking US and UK forces, just as we want the Palestinians to defeat their Israeli oppressors.” But this was just a literary posture.
		Workers Power cadres attended the 11 January 2003 conference of the StWC where the SWP outlined its plans for building a movement “on the widest possible basis” to pressure British imperialism into pursuing a more pacific foreign policy.

		A powerful mobilization of workers power on Saturday, October 23 can strike a real blow against the racist and anti-labor attacks that the capitalist rulers have escalated against the working class and the poor.
		The fight to crush the KKK is a fight to mobilize the power of the working class in its own interests and in defense of all the exploited and oppressed.

		Today, columns of workers were descending the slopes which surround the capital, carrying the caskets of their murdered comrades and shouting the slogan, “Workers to power!”
		The struggle for workers revolution against imperialism and the “national” bourgeoisie must be international, extending throughout the region in an Andean federation of workers republics and a Socialist United States of Latin America.
		At the same time, workers in the United States and throughout the world must express proletarian solidarity with the Bolivian masses concretely, blocking the transport of arms to the murderous regime by “hot-cargoing” (stopping the shipment of this matériel).
