More pay, but less union democracy - A complicated strike victory at Air Canada

3 mois ago

After an inspiring four days on strike, Air Canada flight attendants are now voting on a tentative agreement (TA) that offers significant gains in pay. To get the TA, however, union officials also agreed to sacrifice the workers' right to reject the whole deal and fight for more. Canadian socialist David Camfield explains the unusual circumstances of this struggle—and the unusual deal that ended it.
Flight attendants at Air Canada (AC) and Air Canada Rouge, around 10,500 workers, went on (…)

Anmeldelse: Jagten på regimekritikere i eksil

3 mois ago
Autoritære regimer som Rusland, Kina, Iran m.fl. slår i stigende grad ned på oppositionelle, der lever i eksil. Hvor disse førhen kunne leve nogenlunde beskyttet i vestlige demokratier, så har globaliseringen og digitaliserede overvågningsprogrammer gjort det lettere for despoterne at opspore deres ofre.

Prabowo: Stop State Violence, Revoke Parliamentarians' Facilities and Allowances, End Repression Against Mass Action, Provide Justice for Victims

3 mois ago

The death of Affan Kurniawan, an online motorcycle taxi driver who participated in mass action and was run over by security apparatus vehicles, cannot be viewed as an isolated incident. This event is part of the face of systematic state violence; the apparatus is used to silence the people's voices with impunity that continues to be allowed.

If only land were expropriated in South Africa…

3 mois 1 semaine ago

South Africans have been bombarded with criticisms of South Africa's Expropriation Act in recent months. It has even become a major talking point on social media platforms. One unforgettable moment was the infamous scene on national television featuring claims of “mass graves and killings” of white farmers, an absurd spectacle promoted by Trump and his allies in the White House. This propaganda video claimed that white farmers were being systematically murdered, feeding the narrative that the Expropriation Act was a tool for reverse racial discrimination, land seizure and genocide.

Meet Chloe: life as a Welsh Trans person in 2025

3 mois 1 semaine ago

The more I talk with cis people on the left, the more I realise how out of touch they are with the realities faced by the trans community. Whenever the discrimination we face enters conversations, a chorus of voices responds to tell everyone that “the left” needs to “prioritise working class issues” and not be “distracted” from “genuine material concerns”. In the interest of educating cis comrades who've been misled by this framing, today we're going to use a mix of studies, surveys and anecdotal evidence to explore the life of the average trans person in Wales. Let's see how well the picture of trans people as comfortable middle class ideologues holds up to scrutiny…

Solidaritet med Ukraine – anti-militarisme uden pacifisme

3 mois 1 semaine ago
Vi skriver som britiske aktivister i solidaritetsarbejdet for Ukraine og som aktivister inden for UCU (University and College Union). Erfaringerne herfra har fået os til at overveje, hvilken holdning socialister og fagforeningsfolk bør have til krig, især hvordan vi støtter modstanden mod imperialistiske krige, kritikken af våbenindustrien og solidariteten med de nationale befrielseskrige.
