As you can see, we are using community unionism in creative ways in Armagh - while the language is not strictly a class issue, it is nevertheless one around which we can mobilise the local community to organise and resist the authorities - good practice and experience in the possibilities and potential of collective action!

"Speaking more generally, it is increasingly clear that trade unions, as they evolved through the 20th century, not only in the advanced capitalist countries, also in most of the countries of the South, are no longer capable of being more than defensive. They are not able to win new gains, and they are not able to organize in ways that develop the capacities of their members. The challenge now is to build a trade unionism that is actually a class organization, one that goes beyond organizing people by the workplace alone and organizes people in relation to the many facets of their lives touched by this crisis".
