Trade-union membership in Britain today is concentrated among low-paid workers in the public sector, with minorities heavily represented. The membership of the rail unions in London Underground and the national railway network, as well as the civil service and postal unions, is multiethnic. Together, these unions have considerable social power. Transport workers in London for example, have the power to bring the city to a halt, including its precious financial district. But mobilising that power requires a political struggle against the reformist trade-union bureaucracy, which is tied to the Labour Party and to the racist capitalist order.
P: Public sector Trade membership is representative of the disadvantaged population in britain.
P2: Organizations representative of the disadvantaged have considerable social power.
P3: Mobilized power requires a political struggle to obtain needed reforms.
C (enthymene) Therefore, without a political struggle in union with such organizations, such considerable social power is unable to render results.
