offsite link Employers Are Afraid to Obey the Law Tue Mar 11, 2025 15:34 | C.J. Strachan
A London hospital allowing male staff to use the women's toilets is the latest employer to bring in EDI policies of dubious legality. The problem, says CJ Strachan, is that employers have become afraid to obey the law.

When the state confined whole populations to their homes and bossed us around for years during Covid, where were the philosophers who say they love liberty? Cheering on the authoritarians, says Prof James Alexander.

From fast food outlets, to assembly lines, from corner shops to hyper markets there is one common relationship. That is the relationship between boss and worker. These two classes have nothing in common, and a constant struggle is fought between them. Over the years we have won free education, free healthcare, the welfare state, the 5 day week, the 8 hour day and the other rights. It's time we organized to defend these rights and to win more. read full story / add a comment

There is no doubt that one of Australias’ greatest shames is the Stolen Generation of Indigenous Children. While the debate over that sad part of our past rages, another Stolen Generation is happening under our noses and we aren’t seeing it.

This new generation of children raised outside their family is not restricted to Aboriginal children but is applied equally to all children across the board.

The Department of Child Safety has been given open range to exercise the Child Protection Act 1999 without any recourse left open to the parents of Queensland. read full story / add a comment

international / eu / news report Sunday April 24, 2005 20:43 by Garret Fitzpatrick
Economic Partnership Agreements are new free trade agreements between the EU and a group of developing countries in Africa, the Carribean and the Pacific (APC). They are to be operative from the end of 2007, but the poorest countires already have supposed access to EU markets, so there is little gain for them in EPAs.

Under EPAs developing countries must open up their markets even more than is required by the WTO.

This involves
- fully eliminating import duties and quotas on imports
- progressive liberalisation of services
- opening up of capital markets
- liberalising the three 'new issues' refused by them at the WTO in Cancun.

Shamefully, this is being negotiated under the EU's aid package - the Cotonou Agreement - which is supposed to be poverty focused.

Act on line to stop these unfair agreements, which will be damaging to the world's poorest countries:

Less than a week old, one globally based Counter Surveillance Co-operative is more than aware of the new strategies employed in the effort to bring rampant censorship across the Internet.

ACLU, Global Coalition Launch International Surveillance Campaign coincided with the lauch of the ICAM Co-op and is endorsed as a practical and forceful statement against the increasing and seemingly endless array of surveillance being utilised openly and covertly across the globe. read full story / add a comment

This is 200 students, a lake, a generator,a bonfire, cd-decks,speakers, dutch gold, buckfast, rubbish bags, trees, bushes, flowers and lots and lots and lots of fun. Coming together at the exhortation of Craic Soc, the last day of the academic year was celebrated by the students of UCD in the most open way possible.

It seems that we may never be told the full story of what the state (belatedly and begrudgingly) found out from their investigations on GAMA. The High Court has decided that the report cannot be published. I bet that will come as a relief to some people in SIPTU HQ!

Remembering the balls-up that was made of the search on Brian Curtin's house, I find it somewhat disquieting that the investigation by the Dept. of Enterprise was done "unlawfully". It seems awfully convenient.

Call to Action against the G8!

The leaders of the eight richest nations in the world
will be attending the G8 Summit in Gleneagles,
Scotland this July. We want Bush, Blair, and the rest
of them to know that they are not welcome, and they
will be opposed. We must continue the tradition of
mass protests to oppose the G8 and its policies of
poverty, war and imperialism. read full story / add a comment
