Miners must take control of the struggle into their own hands!
Alabama miners are determined to fight, but the UMWA is isolating the strike and working to defeat it.
That's why we're building independent rank-and-file committees of miners, linked with committees of autoworkers, educators, and Amazon workers, which will break the isolation imposed by the corporate-controlled unions and unite the working class.
Build a rank-and-file committee of miners!
The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) now includes committees of rank-and-file autoworkers, educators, Amazon workers, postal workers, and bus drivers.
If you are a rank-and-file mine worker, fill out this form now to contact us and start building a committee.

“The aim of this global initiative is to develop a genuine broad-based movement of the international working class, and to encourage workers in all countries to break out of the prison-like shackles in which they are confined by the existing state-controlled and antidemocratic unions, staffed by right-wing pro-capitalist executives.” – DAVID NORTH

Reject the Australian Education Union sellout in Tasmania, unify with educators in Victoria, form rank-and file committees!
By calling off its work bans the AEU is signalling its willingness to force the state government’s offer through, further cutting real wages and doing nothing to address staff shortages and intolerable workloads.
