Beautiful picture / workerist opinion on May Day

Solidarity Federation - A short history of Mayday:
On a long workerist note:
Im very spectical of this Trade Union Freedom Bill, which is trying to be promoted thru May Day, it smells of the typical broad left thing e trade union buercrats / pick n mix of activists, if history teaches us anything and May Day being full of history.
One example 1926 period Anti - Trade union law repealed, Labour and the Aloof Trade Unions betray the workers in the in the 1926 General Strike, one consequence of the Anti - Trade Union law being repealed in a top down manner and not through self - organisation & a direct - action workers movement as a balwark, ie leading to the hungry thirties and world war 2 ie the failure of the Labour Left.
The Anti -Trade Union laws made under Thatcher, we cannot leave it to our so called leaders ie Billy 'Sit On His Bum' Hayes or i have next to no support amongst the working class John Mc Donnell etc , to scrap / repeal these laws, ie LOBBYISM FAILS !
With a workers hammer smashing those Anti - Worker / Trade Union laws !
Self - Organisation & Direct Action !

Just to mention the 1970's and 84 - 85 period and the failure of bureaucratic trade unions then.
Just remember the Thatcher period !
