Calling on Unite Members – If You Oppose Genocide Then You Will Support Simon Dubbins for General Secretary
Sharon Graham is a Racist, Zionist, Nepotistic Supporter of Imperialism - She Cares Nothing About Global Warming – Graham’s Appeasement of Reform is the Last Straw
When Sharon Graham won the election for General Secretary of Unite in 2021 we were relieved that Gerard Coyne had lost. We didn’t realise how bad Graham was going to be.
Socialist Worker’s headline was Boost for left as Sharon Graham wins Unite general secretary election. Both the SWP and the Socialist Party supported her. The SP was particularly enthusiastic.
I find it amazing that the Socialist Party is still supporting her because she supports some strikes as long as they don’t challenge the status quo. She has been appalling over the Birmingham Bin Workers Strike. She has not built support for the strike in Unite. This is anti-Marxist economism.
Labour Against Antisemitism - the anti-Semitism smear group congratulates Sharon Graham on being elected
The SWP appears have had second thoughts. It endorsed no group for the Executive elections and it hasn’t, as of yet, endorsed Graham for General Secretary. However abstention is political cowardice.
Unite officials have recently secretly met with Reform which the SWP have criticised. I hope that they draw the necessary conclusions and back Simon Dubbins. No group that calls itself socialist should endorse a trade union leader prepared to meet with a far-right party like Reform.
Simon Dubbins isn’t perfect with his support for the Labour Party, but he is far better than Sharon Graham. It is essential that all Unite supporters of Palestine & opponents of Genocide in Gaza vote for Dubbins.
Sharon Graham called herself apolitical. She is pro-capitalist. Her record is one long attempt to suppress any form of anti-racist, environmental or Palestine activism.
Concentrating on local strikes has gone hand in hand with abandoning the fight against racism, global warming, war and imperialism. Class oppression isn’t just economic. Capitalism doesn’t just oppress people in the workplace but during their lives outside the workplace. There is no point in gaining higher wages if the Welfare State is cut, the NHS is in decline, schools privatised and housing too expensive. Ctd....
