Last summer there was a massive wave of layoffs at Cegielski plant in Poznan, western Poland. As the result, more than 20% of workers at this heavy industry, state owned plant loose their jobs. In response, at the beginning of October Workers Initiative (IP), radical trade union operating in Cegielski established a Strike Commitee and started formal industrial dispute with the management. Shortly after, the management retaliate, unlawfully sacking four newly appointed stewards from IP. On November 3 Marcel Szary, one of the IP leaders in Cegielski plant and elected workers’ delegate to the board of directors was sentenced for a financial penalty for organizing wildcat strikes and workers’ rallies at the plant. On October, 23, 2009 almost 4.000 workers from different trade unions (and various plants around the country) took part in a demonstration in defense of workplaces, ended up with a clashes with the police.

"Posties and the service we provide are being sacrificed on the altar of profit. We're fighting back". Article by Sam Moss (a pseudonym), he/she works for the Royal Mail in London.

Mp3 Audio (below) from a very informative talk organised by Corporate Watch. Olympics: Gentrification, Corporate Interest, Corruption and Resistance.

One of the largest audiences at the 2009 Anarchist Bookfair was for the talk Capitalism's Present Crisis: How Will It End?. From the bookfair website:

The capitalist system is facing years of crisis and social instability. This raises two questions. 1. what caused the crisis? Was it greedy bankers, the natural tendencies of the capitalist system or was it the resistance of the working class? 2. How will the crisis end? Will it end with more state regulation, more cuts in living standards or with working class revolution? The anarchist bookfair and Mute magazine have invited 3 speakers to debate these issues. Paul mason, presenter on BBC newsnight and author of Meltdown; John Holloway, author of change the world without taking power; William Dixon, Mute magazine contributor.

The talk was an interesting opportunity to talk about the economic crisis - check out the audio (below).

Anti-militarist activists have begun actions against the largest arms fair in the world, the Defence Systems Equipment International (DSEi) exhibition.  The fair, held in London's docklands every second year, has been the target of ongoing protests since 2001.  For updated coverage of the anti-DSEi actions this year, keep an eye on Indymedia UK's feature coverage.

The decision has been made to prosecute peaceful activist artists the Space Hijackers for impersonating police on 1st April 2009 at the G20 Summit demonstrations.

It is alleged that the group entered the City of London wearing police uniforms in an armoured personnel carrier with the intent to deceive the public into believing that they were members of the Police force. The Space Hijackers vehemently deny any intent to deceive or that they had any sinister motives.
