Ireland in the sights of the IMF
irlanda / gran bretagna / economia / opinione / analisi Thursday November 18, 2010 22:20 by Andrew   image 1 image
L'intervento del FMI comporterà un incremento dei tagli, la crescita della disoccupazione ed un ciclo di impoverimento in cui i pochi che avranno ancora un lavoro guadagneranno sempre meno col conseguente collasso di gran parte di quello che rimane dell'economia locale. Un "salvataggio" da parte del FMI significa un abbassamento tale dei salari e dei livelli di vita in Irlanda da permettere al capitale internazionale di cogliere l'occasione e di guardare ai lavoratori irlandesi come forza lavoro a cui offrire salari da povertà.

Two articles from the WSM website looking at the bond crisis that is hitting the Irish economy and looks almost certain to result in EU intervention this week. The first article explains why bond prices matter and why rates have soared for Ireland. The second looks at the attempt by the Irish government to find someone else to blame. read full story / add a comment

Along with other left groups the Workers Solidarity Movement has launched the 1% Network in Dublin which held its first succesful event last Saturday, a walking tour through one of the richest bits of the city. Because Ireland was so globalised internationally and so dependant on a property boom domestically the crisis is deeper here than almost anywhere else in the world. Savage cuts have been imposed on workers and the unemployed with more to come as the cost of the bank bailout exceeds 50 billion, an immense figure for a population just over 4 million. The 1% Network aims to shift the conversation away from 'everyone's to blame to making the richest 1% who benefited the most from the boom carry the costs of the crash. read full story / add a comment

Bisogna schierarsi contro questo disegno di una scuola ridotta al minimo di finanziamenti e di capacità di erogare formazione, in contro-tendenza rispetto agli altri paesi europei. Bisogna mettersi in gioco nettamente contro questo progetto di distruggere la scuola come presidio laico e pubblico di cultura e di ricchezza sociale pluralista in territori sempre più minacciati da politiche di recinzione etnica e razzista. read full story / add a comment
Cement truck blocks access to parliament

Despite the escalating costs for the working class of the crisis in Ireland resistance has fallen off ever since the pro partnership leadership of the unions succeeded in getting the Croke park deal passed by the membership. The deal makes vague promises not to impose further pay cuts on the public sector in return for large scale restructuring but was conditional on the economic situation not declining further. Yesterday saw the unions return to the streets with a press call that the left, including the anarchist movement, tried to push into a demonstration. That morning in a rather unusual individual action a man parked a slogan covered cement lorry in the gates of the Dail (parliament building) blocking access. These articles from the WSM site report on these events and include the speech delivered by a WSM member at the protest. read full story / add a comment

Many trade union activists have known for years that “social partnership” comes at a huge price for union independence and the ability of trade unions to defend the interest of their members. The myth that government and employers on one side and workers on the other side have some form of common interest has been peddled for over twenty years. This has resulted in a trade union movement whose leadership seems incapable of independent thought and whose membership has been browbeaten into accepting pay cuts, ‘pension levies’ and various attacks on our working conditions and living standards over the past couple of years. read full story / add a comment

At 9:30 Saturday morning, people gathered on O'Connell Street In Dublin to protest against the presence of war criminal and ex British prime-minister Tony Blair. Blair arrived at Easons at around 10am for the book-signing of his recent autobiography, escorted and protected by a sizable gardai presence. Despite the heavy rain, hundreds of protestors took part.  At least one protester managed to get past the heavy security to try to make a citizens arrest of Blair for his war crimes. It is reported that Blair is now considering cancelling his London appearance. read full story / add a comment

The decade long struggle against the construction of an experimental raw gas pipeline by Shell as part of its Corrib gas project continued in the west of Ireland with further direct actions against the project and the opening of a public hearing by the planning authority on the latest phase of Shell's plan. Meanwhile the irish government continues to give away hundreds of billions of oil & gas reserves to corporations. These two reports published on the WSM site this week explain the latest developments. read full story / add a comment

On Tuesday morning in the west of Irealand forty people from around Sruwaddacon Estuary in Erris brought Shell’s survey work in the area to a complete standstill when they walked out onto the mudflats at low tide to assert their cockle-picking rights and disrupt Shell’s borehole drilling survey. Shell has two barges drilling over 80 test holes in this Special Areas of Conservation, work that is opposed by the local community as part of their ongoing resistance to Shell's plan to run an experimental high pressure raw gas pipeline near their houses. read full story / add a comment

A metà giugno si è fatta la conta dei voti. Gli organismi dirigenti del sindacato dei Servizi Pubblici dell’Irish Trade Union Congress hanno accettato “l’accordo di Croke Park”. Il “partneriato sociale”, che si pensava morto e sepolto quando nel dicembre 2009 il governo aveva imposto unilateralmente il taglio agli stipendi nel pubblico impiego, sembra essere resuscitata a nuova vita. read full story / add a comment

Irish Anarchist Review Issue 1

Welcome to the first issue of The Irish Anarchist Review, the new political magazine from the Workers Solidarity Movement. This magazine will explore ideas and practical struggles that can teach us about building a revolutionary movement today. We decided to cease printing Red & Black Revolution, and start this project, aimed at provoking debate and discussion among anarchists and the left. For this purpose, we will be pursuing a non-sectarian approach, taking ideas from various left currents, mainstream discourse, and reflections on experiences of life and struggle. We will take, print, and discuss, anything that we find useful for our needs. We hope that readers will have a similar attitude, and will use the magazine to discuss, debate and develop ideas. We will also welcome submissions and responses to articles. read full story / add a comment

This issue is both a celebration of big anniversaries and big voices who are sadly no longer with us, while also keeping an eye on the future for information. We're giving you a bigger read than usual for the teaser as well (see link), publishing our centre pages where Liz Willis explores the history of our struggle for healthcare. Enjoy! read full story / add a comment

Dobbiamo respingere questo accordo, che è peggiore dello statu quo. E' talmente brutto che addirittura gli esecutivi di alcuni sindacati hanno intimato ai loro delegati al negoziato di non firmare nessun accordo. read full story / add a comment
