Eine Freundin hat ein Grundstück in #Karlsruhe mit einer schmalen Rasenfläche bis zum Gehweg einer viel befahrenen Straße und einer Tramtrasse in Sichtweite.

Zum wiederholten Mal hat die BW- #CDU nun zur Landtagswahl eine monströse Plakatwand (überdimensionerter „Wesselmann“) darauf aufgestellt - ohne zu fragen und nachdem sie es ihr bei vergangenen Wahlen bereits explizit verboten hatte. Und diesmal sogar obwohl die Aufstellenden bei Ihrer Arbeit durch einen Nachbarn explizit auf ihr illegales Treiben hingewiesen wurden.

So viel zu #LawAndOrder der #Union.

In 1992, Cicih Sukaesih led fellow Indonesian factory workers in a strike, part of a movement that led Nike to create its first code of conduct.

She's proud of the example she set. But she described her work as incomplete, as problems remain, including chronically low wages.

Demanding the release of Venezuela’s President Nicolás #Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, South Africa’s largest trade union marched to the US consulate in Johannesburg on Saturday, January 24.

“In defending Venezuela, we defend the sovereignty of all nations,” concluded the memorandum read aloud outside the consulate by Irvin Jim, general secretary of the over 460,000 members-strong National #Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA).

“It is Venezuela today … It will be South Africa tomorrow,” Jim warned in his address to the demonstration. US President Donald Trump, who has bombed parts of #Nigeria after concocting a false story about a “Christian Genocide” in the country, has also been spinning tales about a “White Genocide” underway in South Africa.

“This is not a joke,” NUMSA warned in a statement. “Donald Trump can easily use the lie of a White genocide in South Africa to invade South Africa, capture South Africa’s president and transport him to a jail in the US, and declare that he is now in charge of our country and all its natural wealth, whilst controlling all trade and natural wealth … After the #US criminal military invasion of #Venezuela, it is foolish to ignore” this threat to #SouthAfrica. https://www.newsclick.in/its-venezuela-today-it-will-be-south-africa-tomorrow-warns-its-largest-tu

La #Unión Europea y la #India sellan un enorme acuerdo comercial tras casi dos décadas de negociación | @rtvenoticias / Jan 27, 2026 #dossierUE https://links.uv.es/x4M0Izq

Today in Labor History January 25, 1926: 16,000 textile workers went on strike in Passaic, N.J. The United Front Committee of the Workers (Communist) Party launched the strike. It was the first Communist-led strike in the U.S. At the time, men earned less than $1,200 per year in Passaic mills, while women were lucky to earn $1,000. Yet it cost $1,400 per year to live there. The IWW had attempted to organize the mills in 1912. Most of the workers were immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe. The United Front appealed to the American Federation of Labor for help. However, the AFL refused, saying they’d have nothing to do with Communists. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (IWW organizer) and Mary Heaton Vorse both helped support the strikers. In August, 1926, the United Front relinquished control of the strike to the AFL-affiliated United Textile Workers, who eventually settled with the mill owners on March 1, 1927. Vorse was a journalist and novelist who reported on, while simultaneously participating in, many strikes of the era. She also wrote the novel, “Strike!” about the 1929 Gastonia Textile Strike.

And a great politician for us to get, too! IMO, it's all about the public options. That is the only way we can combat Capitalist monopoly. Avi is the one major political leader or candidate who is putting this public ownership forward in a real way.
