Dear
Comrades,
OBSERVE MAY DAY
“The peoples’
enemies are not invincible,
Invincible are the struggling peoples.”
Invincible are the struggling peoples.”
“MAY DAY WILL BE
CELEBRATED all over the world and tributes will be paid to the memories of the
Chicago martyrs. This heroic struggle for an 8-hour day will be recalled and
its subsequent history recapitulated
…….
“May Day is consecrated to the
memory of the Chicago workers who were killed in police shootings for daring to
demand an 8-hour workday. It is consecrated to the memory of their leaders who
were executed by a capitalist court for leading the workers’ struggle against
unbridled brutal exploitation. It was later revealed that the leaders were
convicted on the basis of the perjured evidence, that the main prosecution witness
was bribed. Because of this, those who were sentenced to life terms had to be
released before time.
…….
One of the leaders committed suicide
in jail. The others walked to the gallows with erect heads….”
In the given context of our country,
recalling the struggles and sacrifices of our ancestors/predecessors across the
world for the cause of a just world, honour for labour and an egalitarian
society is a must.
These are the days when the fruits
of the struggles of the yesteryears are being slowly and slowly taken away;
deliberate and calculated attacks on the working class unity by poisoning the
psyche of the worker through devious means are underway;
These are the days the worker is
made to forget his working class identity, instead search for religious
identity;
These are the days when non-issues
are presented before us as issues and the real, genuine issues are relegated to
the background or totally blacked out with the help of the paid media and
propagandists;
These are the days when we fail to
respond to the attacks on our lively hood and diverted to say ‘jai-jai kaar’ to
frauds;
These are the days even wise-counsel
about the impending dangers falls on deaf ears;
These are the days when the mettle
of a Trade Union worker is tested, as in the jamboree that is created no
sensible talk will be heard or listened to;
These are the days of real challenge
for all of us, who are near the truth, who hear the truth, who feel the truth –
the horrifying truth – that the savings bank account which our predecessors had
given us has become almost empty and we have delayed much to replenish the
depleting balance and it is getting too late …any further delay/lethargy to
save it through struggles and sacrifices will lead to a total disaster and will
be a dishonor to our valiant predecessors and infidelity towards posterity.
Let this May Day be an occasion to
recall the struggles of the past, the sacrifices of hundreds and thousands of
leaders and workers across the globe for furthering the cause of the toiling
masses and to pledge and to commit ourselves in the struggle against oppression
of man by man, imperialist aggression anywhere in the world, the surreptitious
move by the government of the day to roll back the protection the worker had
earned through bitter struggles and to guard against the disruptions that are
caused on non worker lines
With greetings,
Yours fraternally
