At least 20 people have been injured in clashes in Argentina between union members and environmental activists, who were protesting the construction of a plant by the biotech giant Monsanto.

Devon Nola commented on this.
These vipers have their goons everywhere. Monsanto is the devil and needs to be stopped.

Argentinians have faced capitalist goons before. Monsanto won't stop them.

This picture is happening right now as the Elsipogtog community defends their sovereign territory from the scourge of fracking. They are standing up against brutal police repression, and continued theft of Indigenous lands and ongoing colonization. Show them they are not alone!

Where possible, highway shutdowns are encouraged however any action of support, such as banner drops, are welcome. The 3rd encampment in Mi’kmaq Territory, at HWY 11, which saw standoffs between the Mi’kmaq peoples protecting the water and RCMP protecting corporate interests, is requesting widespread global support.

TPP With nearly 5 million American manufacturing jobs lost after NAFTA and WTO, why is the Trans-Pacific Partnership structured in the same flawed "free trade" model?

With nearly 5 million American manufacturing jobs lost after NAFTA and WTO, why is the Trans-Pacific Partnership structured in the same flawed "free trade" model?

TPP is NAFTA on steroids and it must be stopped if we have any hope of rebuilding the American middle class and protecting workers around the world from the global race to the bottom.

article. Robert Reich - As technology and globalization take over the economy, the U.S. has no national strategy for creating more good jobs in America.

The most important website this weekend and in weeks to come -- on which the hopes and fears of countless Americans are focused (and the President's poll-ratings depend) -- isn't HealthCare.gov. It's Amazon.com. Even if HealthCare.gov works perfectly, only 5 percent of Americans are in the private health-insurance market to begin with. But almost half of the 140 million Americans now shopping for holiday deals are doing so online, up 20 percent from last year.

The irony is most of what's being sold this holiday season is coming from Asia, which leaves retail jobs as the largest and fastest-growing segment of the U.S. workforce. Yet as online shopping takes over, where will Americans find jobs in the future? The biggest reason holiday deal-shopping is especially frenzied is so many Americans are already stretched to the breaking point (65 percent are now living paycheck-to-paycheck, up from 61 percent last year) that they're more desperate than ever for bargains. And the main reason the President's poll-ratings are falling isn't because of HealthCare.gov. It's because the economy remains lousy for most people. It will likely remain that way: As technology and globalization take over the economy, the U.S. has no national strategy for creating more good jobs in America.
