German Workers Do the Wage Limbo

(This would definitely be ISME and IBECs dream. I was surprised to find out that Germany does not have a statutory minimum wage. pc)

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

"This pacifistic flourish might even have been forgotten if not forgiven --along with the band's misguided foray into techno with Zooropa' --had it not been for Bono's egregious and now consistent legitimizing of right-wing politicians. There was, of course, Bono's serenade of Paul Martin at the Liberal leadership convention where the shipping magnate took over Canada's top job from Jean Chretien.

Then, worse yet perhaps, there was his goodwill tour' to Africa with Paul O'Neil of the Bush Administration, helping to pretty up the White House while the rest of the world was up in arms and in the streets over its illegal war on Iraq. Around this time, Bono even struck up a friendly acquaintance with the loathsome Jesse Helms.

Finally, then, in what would seem to be a pretty consistent devolution, comes the friendly chat with Paul Wolfowitz, no doubt a preview of future high profile efforts to rehabilitate the image of the World Bank and the war-monger now heading it up." read full story / add a comment

national / anti-capitalism / event notice Wednesday March 23, 2005 17:57 by Laurence Cox
This Gathering aims to bring activists from different sectors together to compare our experiences of "the death of partnership" and to ask what our alternatives are: "what next for grassroots activism?" No magic answers, just activists from different movements discussing where we are and what we can do.

Other plenaries on gender and activism and the Grassroots Network. Lots of workshops on everything from guerrilla gardening to the G8 protests in Scotland, video showings, and social events designed to give activists a chance to meet each other, swap stories, express our anger and brainstorm on what we can do now.

Grassroots Gatherings are free and open to everyone involved in or interested in grassroots, non-hierarchical activism. Good veggie food and childcare will be provided. read full story / add a comment
