Smash the Labour Relations Act
Item
- Title
- Smash the Labour Relations Act
- Description
- The South African state is facing a serious political crisis. Apartheid policies have been decisively rejected by the majority of citizens. The state is only able to retain power by force; by the declaration of the state of emergency, by detentions, by putting the SADF in the townships and by suppressing all opposition. These measures will eventually be defeated. But the state and the ruling class also face a critical economic crisis. This is linked to the political crisis. The capitalist class is trying to solve the economic crisis by squeezing even more profits out of the working class. To do this the capitalist class needs to keep wages down and to replace more and more workers by machines.
