A Tale of Two Protests: Shut Down the Corporations in Portland and TucsonAlissa Bohling and Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "Protesters in Portland, Oregon, and Tucson, Arizona, faced very different weather when they hit the streets yesterday, but they had one thing in common: they were among 70 cities nationwide where Occupy activists and others spoke out against members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), whose decades-long history of authoring and pushing pro-corporate legislation through the nation's statehouses has been criticized for strangling political and economic participation across the country."

The agreement, reached in January, includes significant quality of work life enhancements, new job security protections, scheduling and compensation improvements, including an immediate ten percent wage increase and distribution of a $5,000 signing bonus."This agreement is good for Flight Attendants and good for the company. It addresses many immediate needs identified by United Flight Attendants and serves as a stepping-stone to single contract negotiations with our flying partners from Continental and Continental Micronesia," said Greg Davidowitch, president of AFA at United Airlines.Bargaining Begins for CWA Contracts at AT&T LocationsAbove: Local 1298 members demonstrate in New Haven, Conn., for AT&T East contract.Below: Members of CWA Local 9586 rally for new contract at AT&T West.CWA bargaining teams began separate negotiations with AT&T Midwest, AT&T West, AT&T Legacy and AT&T East on Feb. 29. For links to the individual district bargaining updates and mobilization news, click here.AT&T Midwest NegotiationsNegotiations with AT&T Midwest opened in Hoffman Estates, Ill., outside Chicago, with the bargaining team escorted to the talks by a caravan of local leaders from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Check outthis video.CWA D4 Vice President Seth Rosen opened the negotiations, stressing that "perhaps the most important question is: will AT&T work with CWA and its members as it develops strategies to meet a changing competitive and technological environment, or will it take the low road of layoffs, cost shifting, and outsourcing?" D4 represents 15,000 workers at AT&T Midwest.AT&T West NegotiationsIn California, CWA members mobilized in Pasadena, San Ramon and Sacramento, holding rallies at lunchtime and after work to stand up for a fair contract at AT&T West. CWA D9 Vice President Jim Weitkamp said for workers at AT&T West, expanding hometown, quality jobs and stopping the outsourcing of work are critical issues, along with countering the attempt by a very profitable company to shift more health care costs to workers and their families, and the inequitable working conditions imposed on some technicians. D9 represents 18,000 workers at AT&T West.AT&T Legacy NegotiationsIn Atlanta, members of CWA Local 3250 hold informational picket for contract at AT&T Legacy.AT&T Legacy bargaining began in Washington, D.C., led by CWA Telecommunications/Technologies Vice President Ralph Maly. Lois Grimes-Paltrow, CWA bargaining team co-chair, said critical issues include reducing outsourcing and offshoring of jobs, elimination of unfair working conditions and unrealistic work rules, and commission-based pay plans. T/T represents 6,000 workers at AT&T Legacy.AT&T East NegotiationsIn New Haven, Conn., CWA D1 Vice President Chris Shelton opened bargaining for two contracts, covering workers at the core company and the yellow pages unit, as members rallied in New Haven. D1 and CWA Local 1298 represent 4,000 workers at AT&T East.AT&T is the largest and most profitable company in the communications industry. In 2010, AT&T recorded profits of $19.86 billion on revenues of $124 billion. For the twelve months ending September 30, 2011, AT&T recorded profits of $11.71 billion on revenues of $126 billion.AT&T Mobility Bargaining Continues Past Contract Deadline in District 6Bargaining continues for a new contract for 9,300 AT&T Mobility workers in District 6 as negotiators remained far apart on many issues past the Feb. 25 contract expiration date.CWA's bargaining committee is standing strong, rejecting AT&T Mobility's demands for givebacks in pay, pensions, subcontracting and other areas."I am extremely disappointed that the company has retrogressive demands they expect our members to accept while they are refusing to bring work back into the bargaining unit," said District 6 Vice President Claude Cummings. "Unfortunately, the company was not willing to offer an agreement in line with the huge profits that our members have generated for them."The CWA bargaining team worked through the night reviewing the company's latest proposal.Click here to sign a petition supporting AT&T Mobility workers in their fair contract fight and to tell AT&T Mobility it's time to negotiate an agreement that supports a fair standard of living.Cohen: Movement Building for Economic Justice and DemocracyAt the Good Jobs Green Jobs conference in Atlanta, CWA President Larry Cohen said labor and environmental groups are building a movement to break down the barriers to democracy. Click here or on picture to view his address.Achieving workers' rights and economic justice, addressing climate change and creating good-paying, sustainable jobs all depend on fixing our broken democracy, CWA President Larry Cohen told participants, including a large group of CWAers, at the Good Jobs Green Jobs conference in Atlanta last week.Through the Blue Green Alliance, union and environmental allies are building a movement to achieve those goals. "In labor, we realized we alone would not be able to achieve full bargaining and organizing rights for workers," he said. But all of us standing together, 50 million strong, will be heard.Strong support from environment groups helped turn back the attacks against collective bargaining rights in Ohio and Wisconsin; CWA, in turn, works with the Sierra Club, National Defense Resources Council, and other green groups on building sustainable communities and meeting green energy goals.CWA is committed to building a movement to break through these barriers to democracy: corporate money in politics, voter suppression, broken Senate rules and a path to legalization for immigrants.Click here for video from the conference; Cohen's remarks begin at 11:43 in the video.Following Atlanta, Good Jobs Green Jobs conferences will be held in Los Angeles on March 15-16; Philadelphia, April 3-4; and Detroit, May 10-11.

Meanwhile, retired company CEO Janet Robinson recently walked away with a reported $25 million severance package, including a $10.9 pension and $4.5 million in "consulting fees."This week, a financial website reviewed her consulting contract and found that Robinson is being paid roughly $25,000 an hour for giving advice — assuming the company asks for it. Either way, she gets the money."People are angry, and the silent protest was a way of showing their displeasure," said Bill O'Meara, local president.Times' reporters at the paper's Washington, D.C., bureau held their own silent protest at the same time as their colleagues in New York, shortly before 4 p.m. Read more at the Save Our Times website,www.saveourtimes.com.New CWA, TWU Voice is 850,000 StrongCWA President Larry Cohen and TWU President Jim Little, left, sign a new partnership agreement between the unions. Looking on are, from left, TWU Secy.-Treas. Paul Gordon, TWU Exec. Vice Pres. Harry Lombardo, and CWA Secy.-Treas. Annie Hill.CWA and the Transport Workers International Union signed an affiliation agreement that means new opportunities in organizing and mobilizing with the combined strength of 850,000 members.In a letter to all TWU and CWA locals today, Presidents Jim Little and Larry Cohen said the new partnership "will enhance our capacity to improve the job security, working conditions and bargaining power of our members" and will help us build a strong progressive movement for change in this country."Members of our unions often live and work in the same communities. Some of us share the same employers. This alliance will build on those synergies, allowing us to take on strategic campaigns and win," they wrote.Through this alliance, the two unions will launch joint projects, share information and look for more opportunities to work together.Locals are encouraged to get involved in strengthening the alliance and working together in their communities.Organizing Institute Builds Skills for Wireless CampaignsT-Mobile call center worker Roland Ellis explains why he and his co-workers want the freedom to choose to join a union at T-Mobile.New organizers from Districts 2-13 and 3 learned the basics of CWA organizing at a three-day Organizing Institute hosted by District 3, Feb. 24-26, in Jackson, Miss. The 21 local organizers focused on ways to support workers in the wireless industry who want CWA representation. The organizers are from Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia and Puerto Rico.During the session, a T-Mobile worker from Tennessee talked about how hard it is to organize co-workers at his company. He brought many of the organizers to tears when he talked about how his son just got a union card after being hired at a supermarket. "These stories really personalized workers' struggles," said D3 Organizing Coordinator Elizabeth Roberson, who led the training, with District Organizing Coordinator Sheila Williams-Cain and Special Assignment Organizer Michele McNeil.Roberson said the organizers "are an outstanding group who will roll our union on. It was really a high-energy organizing institute. It made me so proud to be a CWA member."Check out this video of Roland Ellis talking about organizing at T-Mobile in Nashville.New Website Helps NM Voters Send a Message to MartinezCWA launched a new website for New Mexico residents to urge Gov. Susana Martinez to sign the Corporate Fair Tax Bill, SB9.At www.OhSusana.org, New Mexico residents can send a message to Martinez, calling on her to sign the bill. Martinez has until March 7 to sign or veto the legislation.The bi-partisan legislation requires multi-state stores doing business in the state to pay their fair share of taxes. It also lowers taxes for homegrown businesses. New Mexico is the only western state to operate under an imbalanced tax structure which allows corporations to avoid paying taxes. This tax loophole forces small businesses to compete with out-of-state "big box stores" while paying higher tax rates than the out-of-state stores."Governor Susana Martinez has the opportunity to stand with hundreds of thousands of New Mexico small business owners and workers and put the interests of New Mexico above those of corporate lobbyists," said Miles Conway, who heads CWA's NM legislative-political action team. CWA and a coalition of progressive groups and unions led the fight for tax fairness in New Mexico.You have received this message through your subscription to a Communications Workers of America e-mail list.

University of Barcelona student protest Feb 29 2012Play videoThe view from my flat window!!!00:03:26Added on 2/29/1248,922 viewshttp://www.marxist.com/spain-hundreds-of-thousands-against-austerity.htm Spain: hundreds of thousands against austerity cuts – trade union leaders pushed to call general strikeWritten by Jorge Martín Thursday, 01 March 2012Hundreds of thousands marched in Spain on February 29 in student and trade union demonstrations against austerity cuts and in protest at brutal police repression against students in Valencia. The trade union leaders, under pressure from a very angry mood form below, are now openly talking about calling a general strike, possibly on March 29.BarcelonaBarcelonaThe largest student demonstrations during the day took place in Barcelona and Valencia, but thousands also marched in cities and towns across Spain. Called by a wide range of student organisations and trade unions tens of thousands (70,000 according to the organisers) marched through the centre of Barcelona in a joint movement of University and high school students, and teaching and administrative University staff.From early in the morning students, teachers and workers gathered outside the main universities and then marched in different columns to the Plaça Universitat in the centre of Barcelona. Students of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) cut off motorway and train accesses to their campus in Bellaterra. A separate march in defence of the national health service also joined the main contingent.A huge demonstration then made its way up the Passeig de Gracia and back to Plaça Universitat. A large number of students went in to the historic University building while others marched to Pça España where the World Mobile Congress was taking place. By this time there had already been some clashes with the police which had charged against the thousands of students still demonstrating making several arrests. In scenes reminiscent of the police brutality against students in Valencia in previous weeks, police vans charged against students on foot. (video). Thousands also marched in Lleida, Tarragona and Girona.The autonomous government of Catalonia has been at the forefront of implementing massive austerity cuts, hitting particularly hard health care and education. For months now there has been a movement from below of workers and users of these services to resist the cuts, including occupations of health centres to prevent their closure, wild cat strikes and massive official trade union demonstrations. The University strike was in response to above inflation increases in tuition fees, hundreds of layoffs of teaching and administrative staff, widespread cuts in funding and cuts in wages and conditions of workers.ValenciaValencia also saw a massive demonstration of 60,000 people, students and trade unionists. This came after the largest demonstration so far in the struggle against the austerity cuts of the regional right-wing government on Saturday, February 25, when 200,000 people marched in Valencia capital and a further 60,000 in Alacant and 30,000 in Castelló.The same week had seen two demonstrations of 10 to 20,000 students against the brutal repression used by the police against high school students. The scenes of riot police beating up very young school students had galvanised people throughout Spain, with solidarity and protest demonstrations taking place in dozens of cities and towns. As we saw yesterday in Barcelona, the repression in Valencia was not an isolated incident, but a sign of things to come, as the right wing PP government in Madrid warns that it will implement austerity cuts “regardless of what the streets say”.As well as police repression, there has been a concerted campaign of media lies and manipulation on the part of the right-wing newspapers and government spokespersons. The front pages of La Razón, ABC, El Mundo and others had huge pictures of cars in flames, blaming “violent extremists” allegedly manipulated by the Socialist Party for the “orgy of violence” in Barcelona. There is a clear attempt to present any protest as a criminal act. The workers at the Valencian regional government TV and Radio stations already staged a protest and issued a strongly worded statement demanding the resignation of the heads of the newsrooms for what they denounced as deliberate manipulation of the news coverage of student protests (see video with English language subtitles).Nearly 300,000 people marching through the streets of the three provincial capitals of Valencia on February 25 was an extraordinary show of strength of the organised trade union movement and a demonstration of the widespread public opinion opposition to the cuts. However, there is only so much that can be achieved with street demonstrations and unless action is escalated through strikes there is the danger of tiring out the movement.In the rest of Spain there were student demonstrations in about 20 different cities, the largest in Madrid (10 to 15,000), Zaragoza and Mallorca.Trade union demonstrationsAs part of the European day of action called by ETUC, the main trade unions CCOO and UGT had also called for demonstrations against the labour counter-reform, in most cases in the evening. These being on a working day, the demonstrations were not on the same scale as the massive day of action on February 19, when 2 million marched in over 50 cities, but still, hundreds of thousands participated. The largest demonstrations were in Madrid and Barcelona, with 50,000 each, but there were also large marches in Malaga, Zaragoza, Granada, Murcia, etc (see picture gallery on Facebook). In Castilla-La Mancha it coincided with a 24-hour strike of civil servants in the regional authority.The mood was again very militant, and the main slogan was the call for a general strike. The massive character of the February 19 marches put the trade union leaders under enormous pressure to set a date for a 24-hour general strike. The pressure has filtered through the structures of the trade unions, starting at regional level. Some of the regional leaders mentioned the inevitability of calling a general strike in their speeches to the demonstrations yesterday. On the other hand, the right-wing government of Rajoy is not prepared to make any concessions. On the contrary, it is preparing for another round of massive cuts in the 2012 state budget as it is adamant to cut the budget deficit to 4.4% of GDP (from a record 8.5% in 2011) despite the recession in the economy. This would mean a brutal 44 billion euro in spending cuts and tax increases, a declaration of war against working people.The trade union leaders have called for yet more demonstrations on March 8 and then March 11, and are openly talking of a 24-hour general strike on March 29. Even at this late stage they sent a letter to the government demanding negotiations on the labour law counter-reform and are conditioning the calling of a strike to whether the government answers their letter or not!Whatever the subjective intentions of the trade union leaders, the objective conditions in Spain (an acute crisis of capitalism, a right-wing government with an overall majority which feels confident and a growing mood of anger amongst wide layers of the population) all lead towards a sharpening of the class struggle.Spain is inexorably moving in the same direction as Greece, a vicious downward spiral in which massive debt and budget deficits force massive austerity cuts, which in turn deepen the recession, which leads to higher debt and even more cuts.In these conditions demanding that the government returns to the negotiating table is at best naïve and completely inadequate. What is required is to recognise that we are faced with a crisis of capitalism like we have not seen since the 1930s and that the only way for the labour movement to defend jobs, conditions and wages is to mount a sustained campaign of struggle. Mass demonstrations are a welcome first step and calling a 24-hour general strike represents a positive change in tactics. But Greece shows that in these conditions a 24-hour strike is not enough.An escalating campaign of mobilisations, starting with a 24-hour general strike, but then moving to a 48-hour and 72-hour general strike, needs to be combined with offering a clear alternative to the crisis of capitalism. The leaders of the workers’ organisations, starting with those of the United Left, need to explain clearly that this is a crisis of the capitalist system, which can only be overcome through the nationalisation of the means of production under democratic workers’ control, so that the economy can be planned in the interests of the majority.
