Jobs and Justice Manifesto

Over the last three decades the advanced capitalist countries have tried to overcome the recurrent crisis of overproduction and to keep their economies and profits growing through the neoliberal offensive of exploiting cheap labor, seizing raw materials and dominating markets across the globe. Since the 1990s, they have resorted more and more to financial devices: speculative profits and debt-driven consumption and production.

Economic Crisis in 2010 and Beyond: Job losses will continue to rise PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jack Rasmus   
Monday, 11 January 2010 11:14

At the end of 2009, investors, business press pundits, and government policymakers alike reluctantly began to question whether the economic recovery in GDP terms would continue into 2010. Growing almost daily was talk of declining housing prices, rising home foreclosures and mortgage delinquencies, falling tax revenues, growing deficits for state and local governments, and chronic jobs losses occurring at a 200,000 to 400,000 monthly rate—depending on which of the government's two surveys is chosen. Even government policymakers at the highest levels, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, for example, admit that job losses may continue for months, possibly several years, and that it will take another five years minimum—until 2016—to get back to a level of jobs that existed in 2007.

According to the Chinese calendar, 2010 is the Year of the Tiger. We don’t name our years, but if we did, this one might prospectively be called the Year of the Assassin.

We, of course, think of ourselves as something like the peaceable kingdom. After all, the shock of September 11, 2001 was that “war” came to “the homeland,” a mighty blow delivered against the very symbols of our economic, military, and -- had Flight 93 not gone down in a field in Pennsylvania -- political power.

Decommission the San Roque Dam and Rescind the Power Purchase Agreement Now! PDF Print E-mail
Written by Cordillera Peoples Alliance   
Friday, 06 November 2009 18:15

The flooding of Pangasinan at the height of Typhoon Pepeng was foreseen as an impact of the San Roque Dam. This was among the reasons why people protested against this Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) flagship project launched by then President Fidel V. Ramos and completed during the term of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Agno River communities and the Cordillera Peoples’ Alliance sounded this warning prior to dam construction, and reiterated it several times before dam completion, but it was not heeded.
