Spin and economic blackmail - VS - "science"
by contributors NT IMC 1/3/06
...the mine benefits very few Aborigines in Borroloola."
ECOLOGICAL ISSUES - Northern Territory
NT Government pressured by Mining lobby to ignore scientific reality
"Environment Minister Marion Scrymgour announced on Thursday the $66 million to convert the mine from an underground to an open-cut operation had not passed the "science test". Her recommendation to reject it will now be reviewed by Mines Minister Kon Vatskalis. A final decision is expected within five weeks."
The mining lobby has reacted predictably calling the Minister's decision "appalling" and the Swiss-based miner Xstrata is threatening to close down the already fast-tracked lead and zinc mine if the conversion does not go ahead.
"Stephen Johnson a traditional owner of the Vanderlin Island in the Sir Edward Pellew Group of Islands, downstream from the mine is concerned about the environmental impact of the planned expansion. He says he is opposed to the plan even if Xstrata puts millions of dollars into an environmental bond for the mine. "I don't think any one of us would accept that, it wouldn't make any difference to what our plans are," he said. He says approval of the expansion would be a disaster for everyone."| Jon Lamb GLW | ecnt | Draft MRM Draft Environmental Impact Statement |

Minimum wage workers take McDonalds to Court
by SuperSizeMyPay.com Aotearoa IMC 3/3/06
The Unite Union's struggle for a $12 minimum wage, end to youth rates and job security for McDonald's workers intensified today as the multi-billion dollar company was charged with illegal practices. The company was issued a legal document charging the company with “unlawful failure to bargain” and “unlawful discrimination on grounds of union membership”
“McDonald’s is using their position as a powerful corporation with great financial resources to intimidate their workforce which is made up of young and vulnerable workers. They have orchestrated a systematic campaign to obstruct their employees from joining their union. The company has circulated a written proposal circulated to all stores and that an increase will only be paid to non-members. Some Unite members have been told that they will get the early increase if they resign from the union." said Unite spokesperson Simon Oosterman.
McDonalds has responded by claiming that Unite's actions so far have been damaging to their brand and that they have no intention of rewarding such behaviour in their employees.
Over 100 Unite workers and supporters are expected at a protest strike tonight.
UPDATE: 200 rallied on Queen Street with striking McDonalds workers on Friday night, declaring that they were proud to be union.
