The UPS Struggle and the “Vote No” Campaign
August 5th, 2023 @ 6:00 PM EST
We have a profound respect for the generations of workers who have gone on strike to fight against their oppressors. Militant action like striking is part of the larger fight of the working class to overthrow those exploiting them, whether it be the UPS fat cats, the scummy landlords, or the corrupt government. As students, we must stand alongside workers in that fight. A revolution, led by the workers and for the workers, is how we can end capitalism and bring about a new system where we have political and economic control. Revolutionary Marxist Students will be holding an online teach-in where you can learn more about the history of UPS struggles, the importance of this one, and how we as communists must join up to advance the struggle for revolution!
