It can be argued that the U.S. owes a collective “morality debt” of diplomatic reparations for centuries of state-sponsored terrorism and deplorable interventionism in and around the Republic of Colombia. Numerous “banana republics” joined Colombia, resulting from 500 years of “gun-point capitalism” fueled by the U.S. State department at the behest of multi-national corporate interests.

Since the arrival of Christopher Columbus, after whom Colombia takes its name, an utter disregard for the democratic interests of Latin American citizens has been the only constant down through history.

Mana Coaches Picket Paraparaumu 31st Aug 2010 002.jpg

On August 31st drivers employed by Mana Coach Services went on strike at the depot outside Paraparaumu Station, an hour north of Wellington, New Zealand. The workers took the strike action after the company refused to budge on wage rates, despite the Tramways Union reaching a settlement of 11.5% over two years with two other companies in Wellington.

Besides wages, atrocious work conditions were a trigger for the strike. These include the expectation that drivers work 14 hour shifts for 13 days in a row and Mana boss Geoff Norman recently firing a driver who arrived 10 minutes late for work due to having spent the night at hospital attending to his sick son.

BBC staff members have voted in favour of strike action in a dispute over pensions.

Bectu and the National Union of Journalists said more than 90% of members had voted for a walk out.

But the unions said the decision on whether to strike would be postponed for two weeks while it discussed alternative proposals with the BBC.

In June, the BBC announced plans to overhaul its pension scheme to try and tackle a £2bn deficit.

Jeremy Dear, general secretary of the NUJ, said: "This is an unprecedented result in favour of strike action and a clear rejection of the BBC's proposals.

"We have agreed to give the BBC two weeks to come back with an improved offer or face a concerted campaign of industrial action."
