What: Protest rally
When: 1pm, Thursday 13th December

If Katy French had grown up in Finglas or Ballyfermot or Clondakin or Lucan or someother place that the politicians in the Dail and establishment who live in leafy afluent parts of South Dublin do not know exist and was working in a supermarket when she died from using cocaine her death would have been mentioned in a tiny paragraph in the newspapers and would not resurface until months later the coroner would rule the fatalily was the result of death through misadventure. If Katy French had not died this past week the deaths and hospitalisation of a number of young men in Waterford and in the Midlands from drug use would hardly have earned a mention in the mainstream broadsheets.

This issue contains a special report from the International Labour Organisation on Iranian violations of workers rights.

ILO ANNUAL SURVEY OF VIOLATIONS OF TRADE UNION RIGHTS: IRAN.

Protest activity: Despite the ban on strikes, workers protests and other work stoppages are a daily occurrence throughout Iranian enterprises. They are often repressed. Most of these protests concern either low wages, the non-payment of wages, lay-offs or factory closures. The minimum wage set by the government is $US 140 per month, while the official poverty line stands at $US 300. Nearly two million workers have not been paid - some for nearly two years. read full story / add a comment
