8pm, Friday, 15th January in Solidarity Books, 43 Douglas Street. This is the story about how 5-6 full time activists, and 20 or so part time union activists succeeded in organising thousands of workers across 6 hospitals in Las Vegas, a city in the middle of a desert, with no history of union organising. It is rare that you find out the nuts and bolts of how people bring about change on the ground, and there is a lot to think about in his talk. While Cork is a long way from Las Vegas, there are things here that we, as activists, need to learn about. read full story / add a comment

Comments by the Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern that the annual security bill at Shannon for US military traffic is justified (Irish Examiner, 4 Jan) shows scant regard for the lives or human rights of the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. The bill of more than 3 million euro a year is spent facilitating occupying forces that cause ongoing fear, suffering and violent civilian death in both countries. And while the movement of troops is estimated to have been worth around 7 million euro to the airport in 2009, for this we have abandoned all traces of neutrality, international humanitarian law and respect for human rights. read full story / add a comment
