antrim / worker & community struggles and protests / news report Tuesday April 28, 2009 10:28 by Sean Matthews
The Visteon occupations show that we are far from apathetic when it comes to defending our jobs, wages and standard of living. Workers began occupying the Finaghy plant on March 31st, after administrators announced the loss of around 600 jobs at Visteon/Ford plants at Belfast, Basildon and Enfield in England. Davy McMurray, from the Unite trade union, said the way the job cuts were announced was "brutal." Workers were given six minutes notice of their sackings, being treated like mere commodities to be bought and sold, then discarded by our bosses when necessary. read full story / add a comment

Congratulations to the Drivers from Clontarf and Harristown Garages for resisting the savage cuts to Dublin Bus Services, which will severely impact on passengers like myself. Hopefully the other Dublin Bus Garages will join in the Strike in the next day or two. Shame on the 'Unions' (SIPTU and NBRU) for agreeing to these draconian cuts, and for forcing Dublin Bus Workers to accept these cuts. This slashing of Dublin Bus Services will hit the poor, the old and the disabled the worst. To use the infamous phrase that Fianna Fáil used to win the 1987 General Election, and which they then tore up as soon as they got into power: "Cuts Hit the Old, the Sick and the Handicapped!" read full story / add a comment

Czech authorities ordered a former Ku Klux Klan leader, David Duke, to leave their country at midnight yesterday. The 59-year-old American had been invited to the Czech Republic by a local far-right group to give lectures in the University of Charles social sciences department, promote a book, and foment the agenda. But on Friday he was arrested and questioned by police on suspicion of denying the Holocaust, an offence under Czech law, however he was not charged since he had not actually denied the Holocaust publically on Czech soil at that point. Today responding to internet social group messages, neonazi's who had been due to converge on Prague to hear him speak appeared to change their mind and offer low key solidarity with David Duke. read full story / add a comment

Yassamine Mather explains why the Left should boycott the upcoming Iranian Parliamentary and Presidential elections and how the Iranian Government embraces the policies of the IMF. Full story at link. Last week during a visit to Iran, Hugo Chávez, the Venezuelan president, ridiculed the G20 summit and its attempts to ease the capitalist economic crisis. However, his hosts, who have embraced ‘Islamic’ capitalism with fervour, did not join in his condemnations of the IMF and international capital. Instead, Iran’s clerics concentrated on explaining ayatollah Khamenei’s message for the Iranian new year, during which he announced that cutting consumption should be the theme of the new year, as the country struggled to cope with the recession. read full story / add a comment

Azar Majedi makes the argument that socialist ideas and demands must be brought into theSecularist Movement. Otherwise the dominant rightwing ideology will prevail. Full article at link. The women’s rights movement is an integrated part of the general movement for equality and freedom. Every one here is well aware of the dismal situation of women in societies under the grip of religion; of the inherent misogyny of religion. Misogyny is an important part of the dominant ideology, so is religion. To fight misogyny and women’s inequality calls for a comprehensive and consistent struggle against the dominant ideology and the dominant political and economic order. read full story / add a comment
