Wed, 18/02/2009 - 11:48 — admin

Free Education for Everyone (FEE), a
student group fighting the reintroduction of fees and cutbacks in third
level education, is calling on all secondary and third level students
to join the ICTU National Demonstration this saturday to show
solidarity with all workers facing pension levys, job losses and pay
cuts.

The Irish Congress of Trade
Unions (ICTU), the umberalla group of 55 unions representing about
600,000 members in the Republic of Ireland, has called the February
21st protest the “first step in a rolling campaign of action” against
the government’s proposed public sector pension levy.

FEE are calling on all students to meet at 2pm at the Jim Larkin statue
and to then line O’Connell Street with banners and placards.

An injury to one is an injury to all!
No to third level fees! No to the pension levy!
Workers and Students unite to fight the cutbacks!

germany, berlin, yesterday. against central data collection.

http://de.indymedia.org/2009/02/242721.shtml (article in german language) - yesterday (FEB 22th) in germany, berlin, axel-springer-str. (the street - where a - - "yellow press paper with some tradition" is nearby, the "BILD" - the glass house has a neighbour print newspaper house, the "taz"house, people of THIS neighbour street won against conservative party members who tried to block the renaming of the neighbour street into "rudi-dutschke-straße", it´s not long ago...

ANYWAY, in this neighbour of the neighbour street - in the axel-springer-straße - pupils made their protest against collection (central collection) of their data. government pushed this stupid idea through, so far (germany is controlled by conservative with a bit of center-left (center. center-left) right now.) - so. so far they pushed this stupid idea through.

pupils are protesting against it, it leads to "full control" over pupils e.g. taking part in a demonstration once, if the demonstration - once - takes time during lesson hours. actually, this "once - in a future, far far away..." is a cynical, implemented joke, because this is actually what happens in germany right now: they're putting a hard stress against pupils taking part in pupils`protests. in bavaria they tried to come with "verwarnungs" und "verweise"...

"yellow press paper with some tradition" <- ? -> means: since... a "couple of years" right now this yellow press hears that there are not little people prefering them to be de-privatized. :] this tradition lasts on.

btw.: aside of this page here and FB our third network base still is

(most of it still in german language, but a) "still" and b) only most of it)
