This issue of New Age, a monthly paper of the Communist Workers' Movement published in March 1979, focuses on the struggle of low-paid workers in Britain, particularly in the public sector, demanding a minimum £60 weekly wage. It covers trade union actions, government-TUC relations, industrial challenges at Plessey Liverpool, civil servants' pay struggles, tenants' resistance to racism, women's demonstrations against violence, and black people's organizing against racism and police brutality in Hackney. Additional topics include Enoch Powell's controversial political stances and a Bangladeshi workers' cultural evening.
