Tuesday afternoon Vienna saw the biggest thunderstorms people can remember.
Despite these catastrophic weather conditions 200,000 workers turned up from all
over the country in response to the call of the ÖGB (Austrian Trade Union
Federation) to protest against the proposed pensions "reform".
Today Austria is going on strike. It is the biggest strike movement the country has seen for decades. All sections of the Austrian working class will participate in this mobilisation against the pensions reform planned by the right wing government.
146 comrades attended our "Pfingstseminar", a socialist youth camp
organised by the Marxist tendency of "Der Funke" in co-operation with
several branches of the Young Socialists (Sozialistische Jugend, SJ) and other
left wing youth organisations.
