Hunger Strikes, Teacher Strikes & G8 Strikes

The hunger strikes at Guantanamo seem to be back in the news again. Heard Tribune orWorld Socialist Website Guantanamo has become such a sore on America that it is amazing it is still around. It represents the destruction of everything we are suppose to be bringing to the world. Guantanamo is the father holding a beer telling his son not to drink. We have to practice what we preach, if we believe in human rights we need to guarantee them.
Argentina has exploded in strikes after the killing of a teacher. Not only did the teacher unions strike but many of the transportation groups followed suit. What really made me smile was how the subway workers allowed free riding for part of the day. This has been an incredible show of unity and strength in Argentina and one can only hope that this leads to positive action within the government.

Okay the G8 strikes headline was a bit of a reach but that is beside the point. More importantly, preparations have begun for protests during the next G8 summit. On this note the end of the G8 info tour in the US is on the 15th. I was unable to go sadly, the tour never even came remotely close to me. If you are in Texas though you still have some chances, go and get informed.
