Unite members have accepted the latest pay offer with 71% in favour. Huge thanks to members in Waste and Cleansing—you won this for local government workers across Scotland.

That is why we march under our slogan, Make The Rich Pay as communists must expose the recklessness of the capitalist class.

If you are willing to fight for working power, then you must join this fight and demand better for the working class.

[Edinburgh YCL @YCLEdinburgh]

Young communists on the march!

Scotlands Trade Union movement gathered in Edinburgh to demand a pay rise. As wages stagnate, prices increase and profits sore, communists know it is their task to give this economic cycle a political character.

The annual Edinburgh Festival Fringe is upon us. The encroachment of capitalism on the once vibrant melting pot of working-class culture and art is a long-observed trend, but did you know of the communist origins of the first Fringe? [1/12]
