Since India embraced what trade unions call the LPG route to growth (that is liberalization, privatization and globalization) in 1991, the country has seen 16 general strikes. And the 17th all India workers’ strike falls on September 2nd. The last general strike, observed on 2 September 2015, saw participation from nearly 150 million workers – that's half the population of the entire U.S., or more than the combined population of the UK, Canada and Australia. This year, the unions expect a better turnout given the controversial labour policies pursued by the Narendra Modi-led NDA government. ... read full story / add a comment

I personally make just over $17 an hour, while the average wage of a plow driver is $38,000 a year. And yet you have made it clear that you will not tax the wealthy (like yourself) who can afford it to cover the budget gap which you created. But I do not expect you to necessarily understand the hardships you are asking us to suffer, as I am told you are personally worth ten million dollars. Maybe you don’t understand that taking $36 a paycheck out of my wages (which on average you are proposing for all plow drivers) is the difference between making or missing a mortgage payment, a utility bill, or buying a pair of shoes for the kids. Maybe you cannot understand. ... read full story / add a comment

Thabiso Bopape from a workers' committee that has been involved in ongoing strikes in the Post Office and that founded the Democratic Postal and Communications Union (Depacu) talks about the struggle of casual workers to ban labour brokers and to be directly and permanently employed by the South African Post Office (Sapo). This discussion took place on 10 October, 2014, and so there have been some developments since then. The strike referred to by Thobiso was called off shortly after the interview, after the Minister intervened to address their demands, but a group of workers organised under the Communication Workers Union (CWU) remains out on strike at the time of publication. ... read full story / add a comment

For workers at universities, transformation must improve working conditions, raise wages, defend dignity and allow their full participation in governance of these institutions. Outsourcing and the privatisation of services such as cleaning at universities is against transformation because these measures lower labour standards and create a highly unjust system for workers at these institutions. This perpetuates the legacy of colonialism and apartheid. Like cleaners in other universities, cleaners at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) – organised under the Persistent Solidarity Forum (PSF) – are in a protracted struggle to secure the rights promised in the Constitution, shape the transformation agenda of the institution and reverse outsourcing of cleaning services and other so-called non-core services. ... read full story / add a comment

Autonomy, occupation, self-management... these long-forgotten terms are back in Turkey since late 2012-early 2013. There have been several factory occupations since last year. The most prominent ones are, among others, Kazova, Greif, Zentiva, Feniş, Moda Socks Factory, Renault, and Şişecam Topkapı workplace occupations. Although both mainstream media and the trade union bureaucracy try to undermine their significance, recent struggles of the workers necessitate greater scrutiny in the wider political-economic context of Turkey; so the meaning of the occupation as well. ... read full story / add a comment

1. El derecho de huelga es un derecho inalienable de los trabajadores al que no hemos renunciado ni ante las más feroces dictaduras ni ante gobiernos autoritarios seudodemocráticos. Como tal no puede ser “interpretado”, suspendido, recortado, suprimido ni anulado por ningún juez, legislador, ni miembro del poder ejecutivo nacional ni provincial.

Durante il mese di gennaio, il governo nazionale ha deciso di far sprofondare la svalutazione che era già aumentata nel corso del 2013. Sul fuoco di un aumento generalizzato dei prezzi registrato nell'ultimo trimestre, il governo ha gettato ulteriore benzina con una brusca svalutazione del 20%. L'obiettivo di qualsiasi svalutazione è quello di abbassare i costi domestici in pesos (tra cui quello della manodopera) ed equilibrare i conti pubblici abbassando la spesa pubblica, cosa che in buon criollo si chiama in un solo modo RISTRUTTURAZIONE.

Durante el mes de enero, el gobierno nacional decidió profundizar la devaluación que venía realizando gradualmente durante 2013. A la suba generalizada de precios producida en el último trimestre le arrojó un balde de combustible con la brusca devaluación del 20%. El objetivo de cualquier devaluación es bajar los costos locales en pesos (entre ellos el de la mano de obra) y equilibrar las cuentas fiscales abaratando el gasto público, lo que en buen criollo se denomina de una sola manera AJUSTE.

Lo que no han logrado ni los ilegales señalamientos públicos del Ministerio de Defensa, ni el lobby de los latifundistas palmeros o ganaderos; lo que no pudo hacer Álvaro Uribe Vélez en 8 años de mal gobierno, puede ser perpetrado de un plumazo por una eventual sentencia de la Corte Constitucional que falle sobre la constitucionalidad de los artículos 79, 80, 81, 82, 83 y 84 de la Ley 160 de 1994, que han dado vida jurídica a las Zonas de Reserva Campesina (ZRC), y que hoy se encuentran demandados por su presunta inconstitucionalidad. ... read full story / add a comment

Cuando el país no ha visto una solución a la problemática del Catatumbo, que pasa por presentar alternativas para la sustitución de cultivos ilícitos, inversión social, inversión en infraestructura y la instauración de una zona de reserva campesina; sectores mineros y cafeteros se manifiestan en defensa de sus actividades económicas. La respuesta del gobierno ha sido la misma que utiliza ante cualquier manifestación social: señalarla para intentar deslegitimarla, pretender levantarla con represión policial, dilatar la negociación para desgastarla y hacer algunos compromisos que no cumple a cabalidad. ... read full story / add a comment

Colombia atraviesa un momento coyuntural. Luego de décadas de explotación minera y del ingreso de la inversión extranjera al país, el pueblo oprimido y explotado ha decidido levantarse para reclamar lo que le ha sido arrebatado, y en defensa del derecho a la tierra y el territorio. Es por esto que hoy, campesinos y mineros nos encontramos en resistencia, y en la búsqueda de la soberanía, la paz y la justicia social. Desde la región del Catatumbo- Norte de Santander luego de 43 días de movilización, la Asociación Campesina del Catatumbo - ASCAMCAT en cumplimiento del mandato que nos dan los campesinos del Catatumbo, manifestamos que: ... read full story / add a comment

Frente a la arremetida del gobierno nacional y su locomotora minero-energética nos hemos visto obligados a salir al primer paro minero nacional este 17 de julio. Nos ha obligado la falta de una legislación favorable al pequeño minero tradicional, la imposibilidad de una legalización de nuestra actividad por la falta de áreas libres para ser adjudicadas, la falta de oportunidades para la legalización que injustamente se ha negado pese a que muchos mineros llevamos más de 13 años en este proceso, la iniciativa que viene adelantando Minerales Andinos de Occidente, filial de la Gran Colombia Gold, para la integración de áreas de los títulos ubicados en la zona alta del cerro el burro y sus áreas colindantes. ... read full story / add a comment |
