Around two thousand people gathered in Victoria square today to support striking teachers and council workers. The rally was jointly called by five unions as a national teachers strike coincided with a two-day industrial action by thousands of Birmingham council workers over a new pay and grading structure imposed by the council on April 1st, which could see some workers lose up to half their pay. For the second day in a row, picket lines at council premises across the city were mounted and services disrupted, while more than half of Birmingham's schools were closed due to the NUT industrial strike.

Hamas offers Gaza truce with Israel

24-04-2008 16:26

What about a complete halt to attacks by Israel against HAMAS? These attempts at peace always break down because Israel will demand HAMAS cease fire, but continue to attack Palestinians, such as the 2006 Gaza Beach Massacre, under Operation First Rain, which reignited the conflict.

Israel engineered this crisis, and does not want it to end.

However, if they refuse to accept these offers, eventually, the world will start publicly debating this fact.

24-04-2008 07:30

After six years and repeated hunger strikes by two former shop stewards, a group of workers sacked from Belfast’s International Airport have finally extracted compensation from the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union (ATGWU) for the legal fees expended in pursuance of their claims of wrongful dismissal.
