Contract oil workers in the south of Iran are once again on strike!

wisidagamage

Contract oil workers in the south of Iran are once again on strike, 66 days into the nationwide rebellion. Workers at two South Pars Gas Complexes and at the Masjid Suleiman Petrochemical plant are the first reported on strike. I’m getting updates from comrades on the ground that workers across the manufacturing sector – in the pipe and steel works – and now the motor workers are also on strike. The most militant workers are concentrated in the south and south-west, particularly in and around Khuzestan. But it is clear…

Textile factory in Australia in 1981

wisidagamage

On this day, 27 November 1981, 300 mostly migrant women workers at the Kortex textile factory in Brunswick, Australia walked out on strike when they were furious that Textile Workers’ Union officials failed to show up for a Friday meeting about their pay claim. They then made plans to picket the plant on Monday. As Monday morning came around, the women had assembled a mass picket at the plant, and marched to another nearby Kortex factory, where most workers joined them on strike. Together, speaking a mixture of Turkish, Arabic,…

 HAWAI’IAN SUGAR WORKERS

wisidagamage

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇ From the time the US came to dominate Hawai’i, the sugar industry dominated the islands’ economy. By 1900, the economy was controlled by the “Big Five” sugar companies: Castle & Cooke, Alexander & Baldwin, C. Brown & Co., American Factors (now Amfac), and Theo J. Davies & Co. There had been prior efforts to unionize. In 1889, Japanese union organizers were lynched. Workers went on strike in 1909 and again in 1920, winning some gains, but leaving the fundamental structure intact. In 1946, sugar workers began to organize through…

Turkey: Stop union-busting now!

wisidagamage

Turkey: Stop union-busting now! Workers at the Philip Morris factory in Izmir, Turkey, are paid less than the poverty threshold — despite the company earning massive profits. The workers’ incomes are dwindling as a result of the country’s economic turmoil. Furthermore, there is discrimination between permanent and subcontracted workers, though they perform the same tasks and use the same machines. Recently, almost all the workers joined the union — but the company then sacked 124 of them in a brazen attempt at union-busting.  While the workers conduct daily protests in front…

wisidagamage

(This article was originally written in march 2021) *The failure of reforms – The lessons from Brazil* Participation of left parties in bourgeoisie elections to bring about change in the lives of working class and poor people throughout the world is one of the most contested issues. It has been since the times of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels during the first International in the 1800s. Socialists and Social Democratic Parties in the Second International debated this issue as well, including the Bolshevik Party debating whether to participate in the…

Maria Koszutska, polish revolutionary and leader of the Polish Communist Party!

wisidagamage

Today I learned about Maria Koszutska, polish revolutionary and leader of the Polish Communist Party. A teacher by trade, she became a committed socialist early in her life, joining the Polish Socialist Party in 1902. Eventually, the PPS would buckle to nationalism. Maria led a left-wing faction, creating the PPS-Left and fighting for international workers solidarity and an opposition to nationalism. Eventually, she would help found the Polish Communist Party. Ever outspoken, Maria was arrested over a dozen times by various governments, which did not deter her. Eventually, this resilience…
