The delegates to the INTO conference in Galway delivered a stinging defeat to the US multinational. Last year controversy broke out at the INTO due to the sponsorship they were receiving from Coke, evident through the huge stand they had there.

This year despite attempts to have motions rueld out of order at the Northern regional conference in Derry, a motion was put forward calling on the union to break off relations with Coke. The motion was overwhelmingly passed. So much so that the union leaders who had opposed the motion didn't even ask for a count.

Though the motion doesn't mention support for the boycott it was motivated by concerns over the allegations against coke in Colombia.

Last year one delegate asked whether the honour of the Irish trade union movement was to be forfeited for a free can of coke. This year a majority of delegates decided to tell their leadership no. read full story / add a comment

The People's War in Nepal is surging from one success to another. Since "King" Gyanendra's Feb. 1 decree of emergency rule, any claim to being the sovereign of the Nepalese people has been shown for the fantasy it is.

The wildcard in Nepal's civil war has been the marginalized parliamentary parties centered in the capital city. Up until today, they have respected the legitimacy of the monarchy and refused to recognize facts on the ground, including the censorship of their press, and the killing and jailing of their leaders by the isolated monarchy. The Congress Party, UML and the other main "legal" parties have declared in a New Delhi meeting that "This will be our last fight with the king. There will be no more compromise." The parliamentary parties were banned during the coup, and with no where left to turn have accepted the Community Party of Nepal's main demand, the convening of a constituent assembly to decide the fate of the Hindu monarchy. read full story / add a comment

A new German employment site shows just how bad the country's job market has become. JobDumping.de is like no other career portal. Employers still list jobs, but prospective workers log on and bid -- downward. read full story / add a comment
