In January 2007 the BBC reported on a strike involving 400 Chinese female textile workers of the Wear Company in Bacau in Eastern Romania. During the strike, Sorin Nicolescu, director of the firm, was physically attacked by about 100 angry women. “Instead of working, they threw themselves at me with forks and spoons. I called the police and security. It’s just not acceptable to be attacked in my own country, in my factory, by female workers, to whom I have made every concession!” said Nicolescu in a statement to the press at the time. After the strike, through which the workers aimed to impose higher wages and better working conditions, significant numbers of women handed in their notice and returned to China. (1)

Beset by the shortage of labour-power in Romania, Wear Company has again hired labour-power from Asia, this time 500 contract-workers from Bangladesh.

The following report is based on personal conversations with some workers. ... read full story / add a comment

El sabor amargo de uno de los manjares más codiciados de todos los tiempos: el chocolate. La cosecha de cacao en Costa de Marfil, la pobreza extrema de ese pueblo explotado, el trabajo infantil que en buena parte genera la inmensa riqueza que obtienen las transnacionales del chocolate, y la voluntad de un niño que no puede volver a la escuela ni escapar a su suerte. Un retrato de un mundo que debemos cambiar.

"Desde hace cerca de diez días, muy inusualmente, motociclistas del personal de la seguridad privada de los ingenios La Cabaña y Central Castilla están escoltando, sin nuestro consentimiento, los buses contratados por las cooperativas para transportar los corteros a sus sitios de trabajo. En las instalaciones de éstos ingenios la fuerza pública ha realizado reuniones con los transportadores pagados por las cooperativas de los corteros diciéndoles que si continúan participando en la movilización de corteros para las actividades gremiales de nuestras organizaciones "se atengan a las consecuencias". ... read full story / add a comment

Like many other companies in the Romanian textile and construction sectors, textiles firm Mondostar has had to struggle with a persistent labour shortage for several years. Amongst the local workers hardly anyone is willing to work for the low wages paid in the textile industries. Since three months ago Mondostar has employed 95 women from the Philippines in order to counteract the shrinking supply of labour. Hoping for a good job in Europe, the workers from the Philippines borrowed money while still in their home country. They needed the money in order to be able to pay the high fees of the recruitment agency in Manila. The agency recruited them for Mondostar, signing a contract which entitled the workers to a basicwage of US-Dollar 400 and 100 per cent extra for overtime. In fact the women were never paid this wage. The following report is based on conversations with some of the Filipina workers.

Llevado por un frente popular de coalición electoral, interclasista y heteróclita, (de esas típicas en estos días en América Latina y puestas en pié en nombre de la lucha en contra de las extremas derechas instaladas donde quiera), el candidato populista Lugo acaba hace poco de ser masivamente electo en Paraguay. Las masas populares están hartas de los partidos demasiado obviamente burgueses e intentan otra alternativa y, en este sentido, no hay que subestimar tampoco la victoria sobre el ultra reaccionario partido “Colorado” en el poder desde las dictaduras sangrientas. En gran alegría popular, el electo presidente Lugo será pues próximamente instalado.
