As of 17 minutes the left in France has started her attack with an occupation of Trade Union offices. This is no game, no mock theatre of young malcontents venting traditional fury. This is the real thing. Tomorrow France mobilises to join the vanaguard, not only against the latest attempt to impose anglo-saxon capitalist labour market adjustments on their rights, but also to break the hegemony of the now failed Chirac regime. 57% of the French polled by Le Monde want the law scrapped. 71% of the French polled by Le Monde believe Chirac has further radicalised discontent by his televised appearances in support of his dauphin Dominque de Villepin. We have all come very far in our local and trans-national struggles, and now it is time to reflect on one thing we have learnt :- read full story / add a comment

Rabbitte signal his intent to take on the unions "Labour supports social partnership. Change in the workplace and the modernisation of our public services should be negotiated, but no interest group has the right to veto changes which are necessary for the public good. When 130,000 young people can’t get a driving test, Labour will not shrug its shoulders and walk away. The rights of those young people and the imperative of road safety overrides any other consideration" Pat Rabbite read full story / add a comment |
