interesting comment:
"– Mitt ideal är de spanska syndikalisterna i CNT. År 1936 hade de två miljoner medlemmar men bara en anställd, och han hade samma lön som de lägst betalda arbetarna. Den federalistiska principen är helig för mig. Därför måste vi avskaffa tjänsten som förhandlingssekreterare och alla andra institutioner som sätter sig på LS, argumenterade Ruben Tastas-Duque, ombud för Västerorts LS."
Spanish CNT in 36 is the ideal model etc. 
good news this. I know many of the radical locals were going for this.

Its not all doom and gloom though, but it would have been better if the editors of the external mag would have been some with solid anarcho-syndicalist internationalist politics.


This weekend, 55 delegates from the Swedish syndicalist union SAC gathered for the union's 28th congress.
On Saturday, the congress voted to radically cut down on the number of staff in the union's central office in Stockholm. Six paid positions – half of the central office staff - were either made into voluntary positions, or gotten rid of altogether. The cuts in staff is not mainly motivated by economic considerations, but are part of the reorganization that the union has been going through in recent years. Advocates of the job cuts argue that fewer paid negotiators will lead to increased local activity, and a more self reliant membership.
