- W799231607 abstract "M . Toiiowing the recent re-election of a federal Laborgovernment, it is probably time to lake slock of the effects of the Accord, the direction it is heading and its impact on the strategy for the left and the union movement. Initially, many people saw the Accord as simply a pragmatic response to a given situation. With h ig h u n e m p l o y m e n t a n d th e possibility o f defeating the Fraser government, it was felt that, for the moment, an agreement between unions and the Labor Party would be of some value. The alternative of relying on the marketplace was not proving very successful. For their own reasons, the right saw the Accord as a useful election gimmick, after which it would be played down. On the other hand, some on the left saw it as only a short term practical approach, while many others in the centre and left were somewhat confused. 1 would argue that, while the Accord must have elements of the pragmatic, it is more far-reaching and represents the most fundamental change in the union and left strategy that we have seen in the A u s t ra l ia n l a b o u r movement since the development of the arbitration system and the high tariff barriers in the early part of the century. We are looking at a totally new approach fo r the development of socialist consciousness and it is necessary that this be understood in order that the strategy can be pursued with greater clarity. In essence, it boils down to the question of when the left and the labour movement make their best advances. Is it in a period of economic recession, or during boom periods? An examination of history in this century and current events in various countries, would suggest that there is little doubt as to the answer. We make our best advances in periods of economic buoyancy when we have more room to negotiate. For the first time, we are now looking at a strategy concerned with all aspects of the economic and political situation, and we have the potential to put reforms into place which will be very difficult to change in the future. This compares with the past when, in economic boom periods, we concentrated overwhelmingly on the in d iv id u a l wage p a c k e t as, for example, in 1974, and we stood aside from intervening in any major decisions concerning the direction of the economy, and thought that slogans, criticisms, and opposition i were going to solve the problem. What we are witnessing is the development of the Australian union movement as a major political weapon the like of which wehave never seen I before. It is noticeable and highlighted by recent Labor Party conferences j that the most important initiatives on I the economy and social policies are co m in g f ro m the t rad e union movement, not from the Labor Party. I r here is a fundamental difference I between the reformism of the I right and some in the centre, and I what is intended by those on the left I who support the A L P /A C T U Accord. This is the key if we are to understand I the potential for developing the I strategy effectively. On the one hand, the right wing 1 allied with various forces in big 1" @default.
