If one wants to become a revolutionary unionist, then they must also fight for the economic and political interests of the working class outside the companies and the unions, they must dialectically link the internal and external struggle. In this Red Union Handbook the essential tasks of the RILU outside the workplace and union are neglected. A separate article must be written. It should be remembered that it was especially Comrades Ernst Thalmann and Ernst Aust who made great contributions in that field, especially in the unemployment field. We must learn from them. I had, in their spirit, organized an unemployed initiative and on a national level provided a united front between the RGO and the "Social Security Initiative" (against cuts to wages and social services).
