THE FIRST congress of the new Brazilian TUC, the CUT, passed the following resolution of support for the NUM:

At this its first congress, the Brazilian CUT expresses its total solidarity with the struggle of the 150,000 brothers and sisters, British miners, who have already been on strike for 168 days against the destruction of their industry, their jobs and their communities by Mrs Thatcher's Conservative government.

Once again, as in its aggression against the Argentinian people, as ir its passivity perore unt death on hunger strike of Irish nanonases. this government has shown the most brutal methods in its efforts to defend th capitalist and imperialist HELC CSLS which represents. This has already seen the biggest police operation ever scel Drllalli with more than 1,500 miners pickets arrested, and two killed.

We Brazilian workers are familiar with this sort of repression, and worse; many times it has been exercised against us defence of those same interests, including those of British multinationa firms operating in Brazil.

We know that for out brother miners, and for those other unionists supporting them, this confrontation is decisive, capable of deciding for many years to come the future of the workers' movement bulan. anu even urat o British imperialism itself this struggle have a common interest with the British miners. We give them all our support. wish them every success.

Long live solidarity! passed by the Ist Con gress of the Central Unica Trabalhad ores, Sao Paulo, August 1984.
