National and class struggle
The congress rejected the notion that class struggle in the
occupied territories should be frozen until after liberation. It
accused rightists of using this line to strike deals with the man-
agement of firms at the expense of the workers. The dialectical
relationship between the national struggle and class struggle is
very important in the current phase. Sections of the
bourgeoisie continue to exploit workers, and sectors of the
bourgeoisie have adopted a capitulationist orientation which
makes class struggle inevitable.
The congress reports stated that there was a crisis in the
working class movement in the occupied territories. The Pales-
tinian right wing is responsible for splitting the General Feder-
ation of Trade Unions. Unity is lacking within legitimate general
unions. There now exist parallel unions for workers in the same
occupation, and the right-wing has objected to workers of the
same occupation establishing their own united unions. These
practices isolate the trade union movement from the masses.
For working class unity
To meet the current crisis, the PFTUA vowed to expand
existing branches of its unions and to form new ones in all parts
of the occupied territories. The purpose of broader organiza-
tion is to better workers’ conditions and to organize workers in
the national liberation struggle. Specifically, the Front will focus
on forming trade union organizations in all work places and
residential areas of the Gaza Strip. It will coordinate efforts with
other progressive forces to bring down the reactionary leader-
ship of the General Union of Palestinian Workers in Gaza.
Programs were formulated for education of workers, to
raise their political and trade union consciousness, as well as
for training more union organizers. The PFTUA will publish a
newsletter entitled The Worker on a regular basis. In addition,
bulletins for individual unions will be published, along with
penpiet with topics related to the state of the Palestinian
working class and its role in the national struggle. The PFTUA
will work to solidify its self-sufficient financial base in order to
remain independent.
But the main task of the Front is to reactivate the militant
role of the working class in the trade union movement in the
political struggle - the struggle against all Israeli occupation
schemes, the struggle against Israeli laws which restrict the
freedom of trade union organizations, the struggle to defeat the
Amman accord and the Palestinian right wing's line, the strug-
gle to return the PLO to the national line, and the struggle to
prevent Jordanian and rightist figures from moving to put the
Amman accord into effect through meetings with Zionist offi-
cials. @
