At my old job, if we had formed a workplace committee that fought for everyday issues we faced at work we would have been able to win more support for the union organizing effort we were undertaking. If my co-workers had been able to feel a sense of power at work, a voice, hope, instead of despair and futility about the issues at work, then we would have seen it as the next logical step to form an official union while still carrying out our on the job direct actions. The way I see it, the best way to take collective action at work and to win the dignity, respect, and material gains we deserve is to form an autonomous workplace committee made up of only our co-workers and controlled by us.

Ireland is seeing a militant struggle by migrant workers fighting for the same pay and conditions as Irish workers. 900 Turkish workers and 300 Irish workers are employed by Gama. Under the Registered Employment Agreement for the Construction industry no worker can legally be paid less than 12.96 euros per hour. However Gama paid its Turkish workers as little 2.20 per hour.
The picture shows a Turkish worker carrying an Irish union banner on the Dublin Mayday march with the image of Jim Larkin on it. Larkin had been a migrant worker and IWW organiser in the USA in between being one of the main organisers of the early and militant general workers unions in Ireland.

Recently finished in college and active in the Dublin Grassroots Network, Cormac found a job . He describes how "The team leader structure and the way the three floors in the building were divided, created an air of division. The people who would be empowered with some puny token position were very patronising and authoritarian towards the people who were supposed to be below them, even though they were performing the exact same task in the shop on daily basis."

In the 1970s workers at the Lucas Aerospace Company in Britain set out to defeat the bosses plans to axe jobs. They Produced their own alternative "Corporate Plan" for the company's future.

An Egyptian sheads light on the present status of the Egyptian proletariat as an example of the Arab proletariat as a whole. The Arab countries do not allow independent social, political unions and organizations.
