The struggles at May Day are accomplished in a whole country in Japan
SWP call out the class counteroffensive against the monopolistic capital
The 67th time May Day was held. Long time has passed since "Making to the festival" and "Making to the ruin" at May Day were said. May Day of this year strengthened such tendencies further.
At Central May Day of Tokyo (the Japan Trade Union), As for the demonstration march (It was called the sponsoring person was years how many, "Parade".), it became discontinuance and the placard etc. were also few surprisingly. In the May Day slogan and the declaration sentence of the union, no criticism and nor the reference of neither living special title which had become a too big problem during this half a year nor gJapan-U.S. security treaty redefine", etc. also had a word.
Moreover, Hashimoto was invited for the first time as the Prime Minister Liberal-Democratic Party at May Day. Hashimoto said that 'The hand is had toward the future so that the government and the labor union may hold fast to peace in the world. I hope for such relations.'. The union invited Hashimoto who is a representative of the monopolistic capital that exploits and rules the worker and promotes a military large country and imperialism with Japan, at May Day which was the festival of the worker's fight. -- This is a cruel betrayal to the worker.
May Day of this year exposed the corruption of the work movement and Degeneration of the Japan Trade Union that relate to Social Democratic Party and the All Japan Workers Union with which is being organized by Japan communist party which insists on the national principle, again. The work movement not to relate it to socialism is sure to degenerate.
In such situations, the Socialist Workers Party accomplished the revolutionary advertisement to the Japan Trade Union not to the All Japan Workers Union, furthermore, to the Nationwide labor union conference, in main 20 administrative divisions in the whole country, the south must the north from Hokkaido to Okinawa. The number of sheets of a concrete number of halls and distributed posters is as follows.

In addition, in Iwate prefecture, Hitachi Hall in Ibaragi prefecture, Chiba prefecture, Niigata prefecture, the central hall in Nagano prefecture, Toyama prefecture, Fukui prefecture, Fukuoka prefecture etc., we advertised. When the bills which we distributed is totaled, it is about 82,000 pieces (A part of delivering to home is included) at about 40 halls, 20 administrative divisions, in the whole country. Moreover, it is not only a bill, we sued our revolutionary appeal to the worker by making various decorations including 1,000 posters which wrote a main slogan "Counterattacked to the monopolistic capital made reactionary in the power of the worker class!" in a lot of halls in the whole country and using the hand microphone etc..
It was only the Socialist Workers Party to have accomplished the true fight that took the place of the Social Democratic Party and the Japan Communist party that had degenerated in a nationwide scale.
