I feel that this is important since ecological issues are often put on the back burner.

So we got the result of one of our longest trial at labour court in Rennes (by that I mean a case defended by the CNT-F). Almost to years and it went up to appeal court. The worker we defended won. We won.

There's an interesting interview (in Spanish) with members of Solidaridad Obrera at
http://www.alasbarricadas.org/noticias/?q=node/7514
Topics covered include the Madrid Metro cleaners strike, the split that led to the formation of the SUT, relations with the CNT and CGT, and the possibilities of the anarcho-syndicalist unions working together.

Econoticiasbolivia.com (la Paz, abril 28, 2008).- Zafándose del control gubernamental, el XIV Congreso de la Central Obrera de Oruro, dominada por los mineros proletarios, postuló la vía revolucionaria para superar el tibio reformismo del gobierno indígena de Evo Morales y para aplastar la rebelión de la oligarquía separatista del oriente.

On tuesday 15th of april started a sans papiers strike in Paris. The strike was followed in various places and around 600 sans papiers were on strike supported by the french CGT. The strike had a large echo for it highlighted a reality: sans papiers were working in France and not abusing the social welfare.

Aimé Césaire died yesterday. I am not the kind of person who gets upset by a famous person's death. I have to admit, I feel a bit empty. It is like a whole perdiod died along with him. A period where people would debate, desagree, agree and have all strong personnal points of view.

ANARCHO-SYNDICALIST BLOC AT WORKERS DEMONSTRATION

Report from the National and International Secretariat of MASA (Network of anarcho-syndicalist – Croatia)

Does this group still exist? And is there anyone who got a list of the material they published?

I've heard distant rumors about the FPFV for several years but they've been slow to put up an internet presence, till now. Apparently there's been a split over the mass organization and political parties, with the FPFVI favoring complete autonomy from party and state.

So we've got the result of the elections and although I don't vote, I like following elections which have been really interesting recently. We all remember Nicolas being elected as the republican monarch. We all know that he like tents in the Elysee garden he hates them when they belong to homeless people and sans papiers. But we knew that before.

No war between people - No peace between classes!

The Kosovar ruling class, in service of US imperialism, has declared the creation of another state in the Balkans on February 17th. Several weeks after that act, and the events that followed it, we think that enough time has passed for us to try to be objective in our understanding of these events.

Does anyone knows anything about the events of Nancy which took place during the french revolution?
