Contents:
Politicians - 57 varieties,
all unfit for Human consumption
26 county secondary teachers, Aer Lingus workers
and bricklayers are just a few groups of workers
who have been lectured by TDs about "excessive"
and "unrealistic" pay claims. Meanwhile 6 county
term time workers in the education
system have been fighting for payments during
school holidays.
Sweatshops, unions and Fortress Europe
The EU is continuing the exploitation of the
people of North Africa through creating a
special trade zone of some of the North African
countries similar to the free trades zones North
America has created in Mexico.
The anarchist struggle in South America
Anarchists are once again on the march, their
voices are being heard in mass social movements
after many years of silence, and their message
of self-organisation against capitalism is being
listened to by an ever growing number of
workers.
Bin Charges - a strategy to win
The key tactic which guaranteed success in the
anti-water charge campaign was the refusal to
pay. In the initial stages of the campaign,
activists in local communities went from door-
to-door encouraging their neighbours to join the
boycott campaign.
Bin Campaign Set To Escalate In Cork
Cork Corpo. plans to jail bin charges activists
it has fined under the Litter Act
Dublin Bin charges - Liars and Cheats
The vote to implement bin charges in Dublin
Corporation in mid-January once again proved
what a bunch of liars and cheats politicians are
- no matter what party they come from
Thinking about anarchism
- Democracy In Our Unions?
Trade unions were set up to defend and advance
the interests of workers, but over the years
have become more and more dominated by a largely
unaccountable bureaucracy.
10 years after the Gulf War
- Their New World Order is as deadly as ever
10 years after the Gulf War offically ended
Britain and the US continue to bomb Iraq. It
only occasionally gets into the headlines,
normally when civilians are killed.
That's capitalism
Saving democracy?, NAFTA, deportations, 590
billionaires, bananas, oil profits
Oppose Deportations
If money can travel why cant people? The
simple answer is that the bosses want to profit
from a global economy. Racism is good for
business. Its vitally important that we
let the Irish Government and the State know that
we will not allow them to get away with the
deportation of people.
RWG : Defend Freedom of Speech
On the morning of Wednesday 7th February,
Anthony McIntyre - a member of the Irish
Republican Writers Group (IRWG) - was physically
attacked and injured by one of the leading
participants in the recent Sinn Fein led pickets
on his home in West Belfast.
Review: The Corrosion of Character
This is a thoughtful and thought provoking book.
It describes a section of society that is
affluent and yet hollow and empty.. Anyone
working in a Celtic Tiger computer company will
find much to think about in this book.
