Solidarity magazine is a publication produced by and for trade union activists in Britain (produced four times a year – 20 pages), campaigning in the unions for:
- A break from the ‘social partnership’ approach which ties the unions to the coat-tails of the employers
- A ‘new unionism’ which opposes subordination to the global market and campaigns for a practical working class internationalism
- Opposition to privatisation, whether outright, or in the form of PFI or PPP, campaigning for social ownership
- A trades unionism which, whilst fighting to improve working conditions and wages, breaks with the narrow workplace concerns of ‘non-political’ trades unionism, and fights for the interests of the working class and oppressed as a whole
- Repeal of all anti-union legislation and an end to state interference in the unions
- An end to all bureaucratic privileges and control, and democratisation of the unions under membership control.
