Transcript | 6 WHY EVERY WORKER SHOULD press. The following statement is by no means an exaggeration: "As a result of labor's growing productivity (speed-up), American manufacturers were able to get along with more than 400,000 fewer men in 1927 than in 1923, and to reduce their wage bill by nearly 160 million dollars. In the meantime, the value of factory output increased by over two billion dollars." The workers are helpless before the bosses, so long as they stand as individuals, unorganized. Only the massed power of the working class, organized to act together in hundreds of thousands and millions, can call a halt to the capitalist speed-up and brutal repressions. Only the organized might of the working class can win better conditions, and lay the foundation for a world controlled by the working class in the interests of the masses. |
