SEP public meeting: A tribute to Barry Jobson Australian Trotskyist
23 December 2020
The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) and International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) in Australia will be holding an online public meeting to commemorate the life of Barry Jobson, a longstanding comrade, who passed away on December 11 at the age of 78. The meeting will start at 2 p.m. on January 17, 2021 and will be livestreamed.
His life holds crucial political lessons for workers and young people coming into revolutionary struggle today and we encourage you to attend.
Comrade Barry joined the Socialist Labour League (SLL), the precursor to the SEP, in 1974. From that time, he played an indispensable role in the bringing the program of the Fourth International into the working class in key strategic areas. In particular, he worked for many years in the Elcar railway workshops in the southwestern Sydney suburb of Chullora.
