The dispute at Irish Ferries shows the need for a different type of trade unionism. IBEC, the employers body, did not once condemn the actions of Irish Ferries - even though they wanted to pay workers below the minimum wage - so it makes no sense to regard them as our 'social partners'. We, therefore invite you to this seminar to discuss Social Partnership, the EU Services Directive, migrant workers and union recruitment and how to build fighting trade unions today. read full story / add a comment

Independent T.D.s are to call on the Government to reject the proposed EU Services Directive. Concerned that this Directive, which is backed by EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevey, would have serious negative implications for workers' rights and public services, Independent T.Ds, Marian Harkin, James Breen, Paudge Connolly, Jerry Cowley, Tony Gregory, Seamus Healy, Joe Higgins, Finian McGrath, Paddy McHugh and Catherine Murphy have initiated a Dáil debate on this issue on Wednesday 25th January. The text of their motion is as follows: read full story / add a comment

4.00pm - Anarchism, the State and Justice Can justice really be achieved if we get someone else to do it on our behalf – a lawyer, an NGO, a priest or a political leader? Are the means we use to achieve social justice as important as achieving social justice itself? And how important are the different political philosophies – reformism, nationalism, republicanism, and socialism - in getting to our goals? From the same tradition that inspired Emma Goldman, Mahatma Gandhi, Noam Chomsky, and Leo Tolstoy, the Workers Solidarity Movement set out the case for Anarchism. read full story / add a comment

US ‘intelligence’ agencies now realise the ‘Bin Laden’ tape has been a huge flop and the effect has been the reverse of that anticipated. It has also proven to be a monumental liability as people around the globe are now questioning the veracity of all allegations relating to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda; Howard and Blair beware, even the Arabs are questioning their ideological base. Well done Semitic ideologues, neo-cons and Straussians. External attacks are unnecessary, you are doing an excellent job on yourselves – no help needed or wanted! read full story / add a comment

Tariq Ali Tariq has been a significant figure in progressive politics since the sixties. His website is http://www.tariqali.org/ I found some difficulty getting into this, so bear with it. He is visiting Dublin on Feb 15 for a PANA sponsored meeting. The meeting will be in the ATGWU hall in Middle Abbey Street. The meeting will start at 7-00 sharp (the hall closes at 9-30). If any media people wish to interview Tariq there is a window of opportunity before the meeting. (Please contact Roger Cole on this.)I will pass on any requests to Roger. It is critical that this meeting is successful. Dublin is doing well in attracting alternative voices such as Noam Chomsky and Tariq. Please pass the word along to any of your contact lists.
