Submitted by peter on Sun, 16/08/2009 - 6:12pm

While the repression following the coup d'etat continues in Honduras so too do the protests, both there and around the world: last Tuesday was a global day of action called by Via Campesina Honduras (http://www.viacampesina.org), and in Melbourne LASNET held a meeting that evening at Friends of the Earth in Collingwood, followed by a rally at Federation Square on Saturday August 15.

What the hell happened to Tracey?

What happened to her Rights@Work?

You remember Tracey?, she was featured in one of the ACTU TV ads. Her boss calls her to come in to work but she has no one to look after her children and is threatened with the sack. “You can’t sack me”, she says – but under WorkChoices she was. And she still can be under Labor’s Fair Work Australia!
