  Return from Ukraine

  3 September, by Bjarke Friborg

  The Nordic left is making great strides in its thinking on questions of popular defence and security in Europe. This reflection is nourished by its sustained and permanent commitment in favour of Ukraine. It actively supports Ukrainian trade unions and social movements as well as progressive anti-fascist fighters who combat Russian imperialism.

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

  2 September, by David Camfield

  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 (…)

  2 February 2012, by Esther Vivas

  Mexican Labor Year in Review: 2011

  24 January 2012, by Dan La Botz

  Felipe Calderón’s six-year term as president, which began to come to an end in 2011, represents one of the worst periods in modern Mexican history. The war on the drug cartels has taken 50,000 lives while failing to win a decisive victory against the cartels. The economy continues to experience very low growth while workers suffer unemployment or labor in the informal economy. The government’s war on the workers continues unabated, with no resolution of the earlier attacks on electrical workers, miners, and airlines employees. The failure of Calderón and the National Action Party (PAN) to successfully resolve the country’s most pressing problems while aggravating other issues has led to a decline of the PAN and the resurgence in recent years of the former ruling party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), known for its powerful political machine based on patronage and corruption.
