This editorial statement was distributed as a pamphlet in
hundreds of copies at the recent student conference in Copenhagen on
Wednesday, September 22.
In Denmark, after the big student conference of September 22,
the scene was set for a big day of action on October 5, the opening day
of the Danish parliament. The day of action was indeed an overwhelming
success, with around 100,000 students participating.
The bosses proposed wage cuts, speed ups and longer hours in exchange
for not closing the plant. The union leaders called off the strike
action, but the workers have overwhelmingly voted to reject the deal
with the bosses. Denmark cannot escape the growing mood of militancy
spreading throughout the European labour movement.
