Workers Unite in Spain!

South Tenerife: Highest Participation in Hotel Workers Strike – Over 80% Support! (20.4.2025)

The previously proposed agreement, brokered with the assistance of the Canary Islands President, included a 6% overall salary increase and measures to safeguard purchasing power. A commitment was also made to establish a new negotiating committee by the end of April.

Despite the breakdown in talks, the regional government has reported that the strike is unfolding calmly and without incident. The Deputy Minister for Tourism, José Manuel Sanabria, stressed that while the government respects the right to strike, it must also ensure the safety and well-being of guests, as the strike coincides with one of the busiest times of the year.

FIFA - Legal Action - Vote

Football: Leagues to Sue FIFA Over “Abuse of Dominance”! (23.7.2024)

This is the nuclear option. It is the red button the unions and leagues hoped not to press but they feel they have been left with no alternative.

Unions, by reputation, do not need to be asked twice to fight for the rights of their members but that fact the leagues – including the Premier League – are backing this action makes it significant.

The threat of legal action has been spoken about in football circles for over a year and there is now a united front, one the Professional Footballers’ Association wanted to ensure before progressing.

Fifa’s response and argument against accuses some clubs of hypocrisy – taking their players around the globe on summer tours – while also saying Fifpro is consulted over the calendar so expect a strong defence from the world governing body.

Yet there is a determination from all the complainants to follow both cases through if a resolution outside the courts is not found. Unions and leagues want to see a change from Fifa and, if not, this will go the distance.

Gazans Numbed to Israeli Genocide!

Palestine: Business As Usual for Fascist Israel! (4.3.2024)

Therefore, when reporting on this issue – it becomes something of a skill choosing ‘when’ and ‘what’ to publish – without falling into the trap of ‘trivialising’ Zionist mass-murder through ‘repetition’. Whilst I ‘adjust’ US English into British English (Xinhua) – I find myself having to ‘collect’ and ‘save-up’ the macabre Israeli massacres for such a time when their ‘group’ presentation becomes ‘meaningful’ – beyond the usual drone of the background noise that defines the (amoral) international news machine (within which – a greater ‘death’ count – results in a ‘higher’ income). I refuse to accept the flawed capitalist notion that ‘Genocide’ should equate to ‘Commerce’.

Yemenis participate in a rally in Sanaa, Yemen, on Jan. 12, 2024 to protest the U.S.-Britain joint retaliatory airstrikes on the group's camps.

Yemen: Houthis Successfully Target Greek-Owned Vessel in Red Sea! (17.1.2024)

As to whether the actual government of Yemen monitors this page I do not know – but the news stories have not been updated for nearly a year and appear oddly out of touch with the reality of everyday life. Whatever the case, at least the unelected Tories will see that not all British people support the criminal acts of their unelected (Tory) Junta! Finally, the (racist) Western media habit (mirrored here by Xinhua) is to draw a false distinction between the ‘Houthi’ people and the entire people of ‘Yemen’ – as if the popular government of Yemen (since 2014) does not represent the entirety of the Yemen people! Despite the Tory-ordered (illegal) acts perpetuated by the RAF – the Yemen State has still been able to freely fire missiles at ALL shipping assisting Zionist Israel in its ongoing genocide against Palestine.
