click here to download

This leaflet from the Workers Solidarity Movement was given out with Rebel Worker in Cork during March 2012. It combines a brief report of the rally against the household tax in the National Boxing Stadium and an interview with a WSM member active in the Bray campaign, who puts a case for democratic structures and membership participation in decision making. The speaker in the photo on the second page is James McBarron of the Cork WSM.

When we posted the first issue of Rebel Worker we noted “This local newsletter was published by the Cork branch of the Workers Solidarity Movement, who announced that Rebel Worker will be appearing bimonthly (when possible) and will be distributed both on its own and as an insert in the WSM’s long-standing free newspaper, Workers Solidarity. However this plan was abandoned and only this one issue was produced.”

Four years later a second issue appeared, giving the notion of “irregular publication” a whole new meaning.  This time it concentrates on the campaign against the household tax, along with a short piece about Tony O’Reilly and the Barryroe oil field off West Cork.
