Black Flag 232 (late 2010)

The October 2010 edition of Black Flag had a particularly international flavour to it, talking about the experiences and problems of "official" migrant workers in the UK, the problems of international development work and about attacks on groups like the Zapatistas in Mexico and cleaners in Sweden.

As with the previous one, could an admin please delete the preview: http://libcom.org/library/black-flag-232-preview

Preview for the new one coming up next (so I'll finally be caught up, hallelujah!)

Great, thanks.

In future, it might be easiest to not put that it is a preview in the title, to just put that in the intro box. Then when you upload the final version you can just add it and post a comment saying that the final version is now up. This will save us needing to delete things, and also mean that we won't lose Google ranking on articles which get deleted

First of all, good luck winning the dispute.

With the leaflet, the tone is a bit shouty and doesn't explain why short strikes don't work, and how you can take effective action instead (indefinite strike of the entire workforce being the ideal, but not the only option). Perhaps you'd have more luck with a more explanatory and persuasive leaflet, but arguing for the same things.

Sorry, what dispute are you talking about?
