A prominent Chinese labour activist was sentenced on 20 October to three years in jail for “gathering a crowd to disrupt social order” . Zhao Dongmin was arrested on 19 August last year after organizing more than 380 workers from about 20 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to form a labour rights group tasked with overseeing and monitoring SOE restructuring, and reporting corruption and abuses of power. The Shaanxi Union Rights Defence Representative Congress was formally banned by the city government of Xi’an on 27 July 2009. Zhao then wrote an open letter of protest to the State Council, the city, provincial and central committees of the Chinese Communist Party. He was arrested 18 days later. read full story / add a comment ![]()

At the end of August Time.com published an article containing a controversial opinion of co-founder of the most popular organization fighting (supposedly) for animal rights – Ingrid Newkirk. Mrs President, said, inter alia, that “Absolute purists should be living in a cave.” In the ranks of the activists PETA has been regarded as the organization which in no way improve the lot of animals. After another raid someone may even be tempted to declare that the organization becomes harmful, because denying ethical considerations justifies the same industry which is responsible for the holocaust of the animals. This in turn leads to the construction of the belief that everything is really okay, we should eat animals, we just need to kill them a bit more gently. This way, Burger King customers will soon become defenders of the animals. Anyway Gary L. Francione issued an excellent response to Mrs. Newkirk views. I urge you to read it to understand fully what I mean. read full story / add a comment

Notably absent from the media analysis of the recent SIPTU scandal has been the conclusion that Irish trade unions were corrupted by government hand-outs under the guise of “partnership”. That during the “Celtic tiger years” Irish trade union leaders’ interests diverged strongly from that of the ordinary membership. That “partnership” and “benchmarking” significantly advanced the interests of the managerial class within the trade unions, while yielding miniscule cost-of-living pay increases for ordinary members in a time of rapid inflation. That these same union bosses need removal every bit as urgently as do the current crop of Irish political and financial leaders. read full story / add a comment ![]()

It may come as a surprise to union members but the government and the trade union general secretaries have now revealed that further pay cuts are in fact provided for under the provisions of the Croke Park agreement. The Irish Independent of 23rd October reported that the department of finance "is strongly considering reducing wage levels for all new recruits to the public sector by a flat 10pc in the Budget".

Fidel Castro speaks about the continuing Imperialist aggression towards Iran and vividly illustrates the consequences of such an attack. Full text of transcript at link. The use of nuclear weapons in a new war would mean the end of humanity. This was candidly foreseen by scientist Albert Einstein who was able to measure their destructive capability to generate millions of degrees of heat, which would vaporize everything within a wide radius of action. This brilliant researcher had promoted the development of this weapon so that it would not become available to the genocidal Nazi regime. read full story / add a comment ![]()

At just 14, after meeting her fellow bandmates at a Clash gig in 1976, she set up an all-girl band and spearheaded the punk movement. read full story / add a comment ![]()
