Uruguay government moves to break transport strike
The Uruguayan government has moved to break up a strike among freight workers after the action caused severe shortages of basic supplies around the country.
A decree has been issued to the 25,000 drivers, which will treat any further strike action as a crime with legal consequences. The President of the Inter-Union of Land Transport Professionals has said the strike will continue regardless.
The drivers are striking over plans to increase the cost of fuel, and observers have warned that the government decree will only worsen the conflict.

A biography of Italian anarchist militant and writer, Luigi Fabbri.
A clear-sighted and very astute intellectual, author of essays crucial to my libertarian understanding of the great political upheavals of the 20th century (such as the Russian revolution, the fascist seizure of power in Italy). A generous and tireless anarchist militant, he knew imprisonment and internment, physical assault at the hands of fascist thugs and was driven into exile.
