'Save Coventry Mail Centre' March and Rally

31-03-2007 15:04

assembly point
A march and rally, organised by the Communication Workers Union (CWU), were held in Coventry city centre today to protest against the planned closure of Coventry's postal sorting office. The Royal Mail management are proposing to combine Coventry's and Northampton's sorting offices at a new site near Milton Keynes (Ml corridor), causing over 500 staff in Coventry to be made redundant. Northampton's sorting office had burned down in 2003 and staff are working from temporary accommodation.

According to Des Arthur from the Coventry Mail Centre Campaign, the Royal Mail management had admitted that the closure had nothing to do with the levels of efficiency and productivity at Coventry, which were excellent. Further, the proposed closure of Coventry, Gloucester and Beading sorting offices were in breach of the National Agreement and no immediate opportunity had been given to the UCW to offer a case for keeping them open.

The UCW has now drawn up a 26-page plan for keeping the Coventry office open and has collected more than 60,000 signatures on its petition. The union has vowed to ballot for industrial action if the management opts for compulsory redundancies.

Behind The Wall 16 hours for 30 minutes' contact

30-03-2007 17:25

This report comes from Occupied Palestine from someone whose identity I must protect. They wrote this article - I merely forward it. It tells of what an ordinary Palestinian mmother has to go through to visit a son in an israeli jail, and the chicanery and deliberate tactics used by the Israeli Army to ensure that visiting time is short indeed. Please post feedback if you wish to read further eyewitness reports on other aspects of life that the manistream media are simply not interested in. Thank you.

12 April 2007: Day of action in support of imprisoned CO Halil Savda

30-03-2007 15:45

Halil Savda
On 12 April 2007, Halil Savda faces sentencing for a second charge of disobedience as a result of his conscientious objection - a clear violation not only of the human right to conscientious objection, but also of Article 14 paragraph 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Halil Savda needs international support, to break the vicious cycle of imprisonment, "release", transfer to military barracks, being given a military order, disobedience, and imprisonment. But support will also be crucial to achieve the recognition of the right to conscientious objection in Turkey.

For these reasons, activists in Turkey and War Resisters' International call for an international day of action on 12 April 2007, in support of Halil Savda and all COs in Turkey.
