Four years into the war on Iraq it seems more serious nonviolent resistance is coming from within the military, from veterans of the war and the families of the military war dead than any civilian anti-war movement in the western world. Lt Ehren Watada refused deployment to Iraq declaring the war illegal. His court martial earleir this year collapsed over a legal technicality. His second trial is due to start early October.

This is a statement from A group of workers employed in Iran Khodro, Irans largest car plant. It vividly describes the exploitation suffered by Iranian workers both at the hands of Iranian Capitalist employers and from the Iranian Capitalist State. The Iranian Workers issued this statement on September 17. The full text of the statement is at the link. Friends and fellow workers: Sharivar 22 [September 13] is the anniversary of the death of our fellow worker, Peyman Razilou. On that day in 2002 he died from exhaustion during the afternoon shift. His death was four years ago and we haven’t forgotten that tragedy - or the untimely death of our colleague, Mahmood Khayami, who died from stress. And this year we have witnessed another death - this time it was Ali Akbar Shourgashti who was killed because Iranian capitalists pay no attention to health and safety regulations. ... read full story / add a comment

This is an interview conducted by Peter Tatchell with Mark Fischer and Yassamine Mather . There is also some commentary below in which Peter Tatchell makes clear the case against US aggresion towards Iran Neither Washington nor Tehran. A war against Iran would be another disastrous neo-imperial adventure, which would strengthen the Tehran dictatorship. The overthrow of the clerical regime by the Iranian people - not US military intervention - is the best way to resolve the nuclear crisis and prevent a needless, unjustified war. Peter Tatchell interviews Mark Fischer of Hands Off the People of Iran and Yassamine Mather of Workers Left Unity Iran, 21 September 2007. ... read full story / add a comment

For the geeks who have Second Life accounts, here's you chance to picket in the virtual world... "During the talks to renew IBM’s Italian internal collective agreement, the works council, supported by the majority of IBM Italy employees, asked for a small salary increase. IBM responded by cancelling their "productive results benefit", resulting in a loss of €1000 per year for each employee. For a company that wants to lead in corporate social responsibility, this is unacceptable." ... read full story / add a comment

For those without a subscription, here's the text of the long article in last Saturday's IT about the Corrib Gas dispute. It makes interesting reading, and gives a fairly balanced account of the recent history of Shell's scheme. Sadly, the lie that the project will provide 700 jobs is repeated as if it was a fact. Careful readers will notice that Shell never commit themselves to this (or any) figure, instead using meaningless phrases like "up to 700 jobs in the construction phase", etc. The Shell PR machine now seems to think that if it repeats the notion that the majority of the people in Erris actually support the scheme then it will become accepted. The company's plan, to install a high pressure pipeline and a huge refinery in a area of bogs which is prone to landslides, has never enjoyed local support, but Shell says the people of the local communities have "moved on". The coming months will show how much support Shell has. ... read full story / add a comment |
