I have recently posted on my Anarchism blog (www.robertgraham.wordpress.com) some translations of material by Neno Vasco and Alexander Schapiro that should be of interest to libcom & anarchosyndicalism 101 users. The Neno Vasco post and page reproduce excerpts from his 1920 Portuguese publication, The Anarchist Conception of Syndicalism.
