History
When the Workers Solidarity Movement was founded in 1984, the members began to publish Workers Solidarity as a primary part of their activity. It was first produced in a traditional newspaper format and sold for 20 Irish pence when the organisation was founded in 1984. Members distributed it in local pubs and at political rallies and demonstrations. Early issues were written in support of the Dunnes Stores Strike against apartheid and against Catholic Church control of education. The paper changed in 2000 to its current format. Members distribute Workers Solidarity primarily door-to-door in their local neighbourhoods, and also at political demonstrations and other events.
As of February 2008, it has released 100 issues and has a print run of 8000.
