Caribbean Labour Solidarity
Caribbean Labour Solidarity (CLS), founded in 1974, is a group that "sets itself the task of informing the concerned about labour issues in the (Caribbean) region as a whole",〔Harry Goulbourne, ''Black Politics in Britain'', Avebury, 1990, p. 105.〕 and “continues to support the national and anti-imperialist fight in the West Indies”,〔David Horsley, ("Obituary: Cleston 'Chris' Taylor" ), ''Morning Star'', 7 April 2010.〕 as well as being an international campaigning organisation. A 1980 CLS publication states: "Caribbean Labour Solidarity takes as its central concern the need for increased cohesion between the British labour movement and all components of the anti-imperialist and national democratic struggles in the Caribbean."〔Inside back cover of Ken Fuller, ''The Struggle for Puerto Rican Independence and a Free Caribbean'', a CLS pamphlet, 1980.〕
==History==
CLS was established in 1974 in north London, England. It developed out of what was originally the Jamaica Trade Union Solidarity Campaign (JTUSC), formed in response to an appeal from trade unionists in Jamaica to mobilise protests against the Labour Relations and Industrial Disputes Bill that attempted to restrict Jamaican trade unionists’ right to strike. The JTUSC comprised activists from the Caribbean community and the wider labour and trade union movement in the United Kingdom. After the Bill became law that year, JTUSC members decided there was a need for a permanent organisation to support the mounting democratic movement within the Caribbean.〔(“About us”, CLS website. )〕
Drawing attention to the links between modern racism and Britain's involvement in the enslavement of Africans in the sugar colonies, CLS continued as an international campaigning organisation.〔(“Caribbean Labour Solidarity newsletter, 1983”, USI (Understanding Slavery Initiative). )〕 Its key founding members were Guyanese activist Lionel Jeffrey (9 January 1926–31 October 1993),〔(Jeffrey, Lionel and Pansy (donated papers), AIM25. )〕 Jamaican historian Richard Hart (who until his death in December 2013 was the organisation’s Honorary President)〔Jacqueline McKenzie and Ken Fuller, ("Richard Hart: Caribbean Activist And Writer" ), ''Morning Star'', 3 January 2014.〕〔Luke Daniels, ("Richard Hart: A Tribute" ), ''Pambazuka News'', Issue 661, 16 January 2014.〕 and exiled Jamaican trade unionist Cleston Taylor (1926–2010).〔〔Winston James, calling Hart and Taylor "two very special and unsung heroes of the Jamaican working-class movement", dedicates to them his book ''A Fierce Hatred of Injustice: Claude McKay's Jamaica and His Poetry of Rebellion'' (Verso, 2000, pp. xv-xvi): "Dick and Cleston have never forsaken the Caribbean working class and, even in exile and old age, they have worked tirelessly and selflessly to promote its cause. Veterans of the Jamaican labor movement stretching back to the 1930s, in exile they founded together Caribbean Labour Solidarity in London some thirty years ago and, through thick and mainly thin, have remained steadfast in supporting the struggle of the poor and exploited in the Caribbean. Dick and Cleston deserve to be better known, appreciated and celebrated."〕〔Harold A. Drayton, ("A personal tribute to my mentor, friend, and comrade Richard Hart (1917-2013), Part 2" ), ''Stabroek News'', 20 January 2014.〕
