Dear Wol-san ! I am very happy to add you as my friend in this network

Of course there are great positives about these uprisings. It is clearing the cobwebs from the minds of a lot of Mid east workers. It is raising the question of our class wielding power in the future and it gives a great morale boost internationally to  working class that needs hope. I find it very exciting and many workers at my job have discussed it with me.

Hi Wol-san

The petition will be sent to the email address,s when the petition is closed off . We are able to add addition email address, s to this petition it would be good if you could source another email address,s for Daewoo South Korea. Have you given any thought to sending this petition to GM in the US? We think this would be useful.

I am sure the petition could be mailed the only problem the comment post by those who have signed will not show. We would be interested in your thoughts.

In unity

I have not written much about the UAW, though many articles have been written by comrades in Chicago and the Detroit area of the Mid-West region where auto was traditionally the largest industry. I would suggest you use an internet cafe to access www.plp.org. Check the archives. We have been organizing in auto for 40 years and have a long history of fighting racism on the job and the working class communities where black and Latin super-exploited workers are often the victims of police brutality and murder.
My own experience at my hospital job was exposing racist medical care at my institution that led to the death of a co-worker. That occurred in my first year at work. The union was not involved in that struggle which was my error. I have raised the issues of some black victims of police murder. Last year a mentally ill youth was shot down by the police in the area of my hospital and dragged into the police car and deposited in the emergency room of my hospital like he was a dog. My party has organized consistently to fight these attacks through our work in the unions and our teachers with an alliance with students and parents. This work has led to the recruitment of many working class youth, some of their parents ,as well as fellow teachers. WE have gotten the union to pass several resolutions condemning these murders and supporting a march 2 years ago. But on the whole the unions leadership does NOT want to confront the state over this nor do they wish to fight the hospital bosses. They believe in class collaboration . They call it a "partnership with management". This "partnership" has led to the loss of thousands of jobs , the loss of wages, and some benefits. I am a union delegate .My main task is to develop closer ties off the job with my co-workers so that they develop a trust for communist ideology.

well, after being in Turkey, yup, in geneva. but hope to be back in korea after i serve my year's time here.. regarding posting updates, of course it's ok!
i'm going to korea on the 10th to visit ulsan; i'll probably stay in seoul after that .. we can catch up then!

Hi Wol-san
Greetings from Durban.
Let's keep in touch.

sadly i wont be able to make the tuesday workshop as i only arrive in Seoul in the afternoon on that day. Please keep a record of the discussion and maybe write a report on unionbook of the outcomes. It is so important that we find effective modes of resistance to the restructuring process of global corporations (which they tell us is unstoppable/inevitalbe) as they destroy lives, communities and the environment. SIGTUR is determined to build a response, rob
