Congress is today calling on all workers to vote ‘yes’ in the NICE Referendum in the belief that by doing so they will help to bring about a safer and fairer Europe. (I'm posting the ICTU statement on NICE for your information. I thought the exact text would be of interest & use to people. Please direct any comments towards ICTU; this is the ICTU position, not mine.) read full story / add a comment

The Sparts are hated by most left wing activists for their vicious sectarianism and their cult like behaviour. Add your reasons why you hate the Sparts. read full story / add a comment

Andrew Cockburn argues that: Nice is essentially about a sinister overhaul of the system by which the people of the EU are governed. The most important provisions of the agreement changed the system for governing the Union, which currently gives small and big countries a roughly equal voice, to one in which the big countries -- particularly France, Germany, Italy and Britain -- have the decisive say read full story / add a comment

The ILWU (International Longshore & Warehouse Union) which represents most of the labour at the huge Los Angeles port has been in a trade dispute with the bosses association (PMA) for many months now. The workers have been working without a contract for months. The PMA locked out the union and in their last meeting turned up with "bodyguards" that were armed in a manner visible to the union negotiation team. read full story / add a comment

Looks like something big might happen after all on Friday. Although I dont drive, and don't want to drive for a number of reasons, including environmental and safety ones, I confess that I often surf the AA Roadwatch Website, because traffic effects us all, including for those of us who use Public Transport. Also sometimes this is often the first place where you see news of upcoming Demos and Protests. It was for this reason that I logged onto their Website this evening to see if they had any news of this Friday's Nationwide half-day Work Stoppage. Now they have no news of the many and varied Protest Actions taking place across the country, but this piece below in their Rail News section caught my eye. I've heard that groups of ESB, Bus Eireann, An Post, and Dublin Bus Workers, amongst others are also planning to walk off the job. read full story / add a comment

For those of you who don't know about MOVE, I suggest you check out their website at http://moveorg.net/ MOVE's history is amazing, shocking and inspirational. Just last week they lost another one of their members to what looks like a police set up. You may be aware of the case of MUMIA, who is a prisioner of conscience associated to MOVE. Looking at MOVE, we can see how radical theories and organising are much needed - but also how far the authorities will go to suppress them. In these days of U.S hegemony (and Irish govt. compliance), we might do well to take note. also, http://www.eco-action.org/dt/onamove.html http://www.iacenter.org/moveact.htm http://moveorg.net/ read full story / add a comment

This puts it all in perspective, I had to laugh. A Zimbabwe politician was quoted as saying that children should study the US election event closely because it shows that election fraud is not only a third world phenomena http://forumireland.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=69 read full story / add a comment

One of the most promising hopes for the future (for challenging systemic state corruption) that I have come across during the past four years or so concerns a media organisation named Indymedia - which provides ordinary individuals with the opportunity to publish their "news and views" globally: and instantly (more or less) - thereby removing control from those who dominate (and manipulate!!!) the flow of information at present. Provided the new freedoms which this organisation offers are not abused too much by those who are that way naturally inclined (and/or otherwise motivated), it seems to me that Indymedia has enormous potential for combating the corruption problem. Further information regarding Indymedia (which is possibly just one of several such Internet organisations now in operation) can be found at the following www page address: http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/news/moreover/Default.htm read full story / add a comment |
