Headlines from GLW #707, 25 April 2007:


Venezuela’s revolution accelerates
INTERNATIONAL NEWS, 19 April 2007
VENEZUELA: Returning once again to Venezuela — having last spent four months here in 2005 — I recalled a refrain that had been constantly repeated by Venezuelans: “After we re-elect Chavez in 2006, the real revolution will begin.” It took very little time for me to realise exactly what they meant. »

Union leaders condemn Rudd's IR plan
COMMENT & ANALYSIS, 21 April 2007
ALP leader Kevin Rudd’s industrial relations policies, outlined in an April 17 speech to the National Press Club, have caused great concern among many trade unionists because they echo many of the anti-worker provisions in the federal government’s Work Choices laws. »

Iran may be the greatest crisis of modern times
INTERNATIONAL NEWS, 19 April 2007
The Israeli journalist Amira Hass describes the moment her mother, Hannah, was marched from a cattle train to the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. “They were sick and some were dying”, she says. “Then my mother saw these German women looking at the prisoners, just looking.

Raising women's voices in Pakistan
INTERNATIONAL NEWS, 19 April 2007
“The Women Workers Help Line is a member-based, voluntary, non-profit making, non-governmental organisation, struggling to create legal, political, democratic and trade union awareness among women for a socially just, economically equitable, politically aware and gender sensitive society”, explains the WWHL’s vision statement.
