2021 has started with a bang, with teachers and school support staff in the NEU and Unison forcing Boris Johnson's Tory government to retreat on the re-opening of schools. Unions can draw on this template to fight for workplace safety in all sectors and stop the offensive by the Tories and the bosses to make workers pay for the Covid crisis. This meeting will discuss how the fight can be built to defend lives and livelihoods.

Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
