the fight against neo-liberalism. 7

Industrial Worker

"While most reports claim that the Teamsters won a sweeping victory in their 15-day strike against United

Parcel Service, on closer examination the proposed settlement looks to be more of a draw", argues the

October issue of the US radical newspaper Industrial

Worker. "The Teamsters clearly won on pensions, defeating UPS' efforts to pull out of the union's multiemployer pension plans and forcing UPS to increase its pension payments. . However, most UPS workers are not covered under the pension plan, because of extremely high turn-over among the part-timers who make up nearly two-thirds of UPS workers."

Subscription to the Industrial Worker costs $15 a year, from WW, 103 West Michigan Avenue, Ypsilanti MI

48197, USA

Out at Work

America's Public Broadcasting System recently refused to broadcast "Out at Work," a film about three workers who came out in the workplace and what happened to them as a result, because labour unions and a lesbianoriented foundation provided some of its funding.

Murros 4/97

(In Finnish) "A comment by the Supreme Court judge

Eeva Vuori, which stated that a crime committed by a poor person is more felonious than the same crime committed by a rich person, has stirred up Finland.

Everyone, including from the President, rushed to shut the judge's mouth. Not because she had made a juridical mistake, but because it is not appropriate to say this sort of thing in public." (from the editorial)

Other contents include the popularity of rightist populism in Norway, Co-operatives, 14th World Festival of Youth and Students, Nordic meeting of Communist Youth, future activities of the Communist Youth. The next issue will be published in mid-November.

Subscription to five issues of Murros costs 60 Markka

www.internationalen.se/sp/rr.htm Trotsky FAQ

Trotskyists from a range of currents are collaborating on a project "to get as much material from the 'movement online as possible, such as names and dates of papers and magazines, brief biographies of key figures, texts, etc." The best piece on this "experimental" site is Shachtman's pamphlet on the origins of Trotskyism. There will be, in the future, profiles of most major and minor world tendencies, with links, to their sites and press.
