They rightly point out that Chinese workers lack even the most basic human rights protections,including the rights to strike and join an independent union. But there's more to the story: Ten years ago, according to the China's Minister of Public Security, there were on average 10,000 large-scale collective protests each year. By 2004, the government recorded 74,000 large-scale protests. Late last year, the Minister of Police announced protests had increased to 87,000 last year, involving well over four million workers. Four million workers! In the US we celebrated the birth of a new global social movement when 60,000 people showed up for the 'Battle of Seattle' in 1999. In China there is now more than enough evidence of continual worker self-organization outside of official trade union channels to put to rest notions that 'there is no labor movement in China'. According to Robin Munro, research director of China Labour Bulletin, '[W]hereas 10 years ago I think you could have said China did not have a labor movement, that is no longer really the case- there is no freedom of association for workers,but hitherto, people have tended to think that, therefore, there is no Chinese labor movement. I think the scale of worker unrest nowadays is so great, you can go to almost any city in the country now and there will be several major collective worker protests going on at the same time. So China now has a labor movement.This is an important point to just put there on the table and recognize. It is not organized. It is spontaneous, it is relatively inchoate. But then so were labor movements in most Western countries before trade unions were permitted. We have basically a pre-union phase of labor movement development in China today. It also has great potential, I think, for becoming a proper labor movement.' In the years before the passage of the National Labor Relations Act - known as the Wagner Actor 'Labor's Magna Carta' - there was no legally enforced right to organize, bargain collectively, or strike in the United States. But US workers who were denied these rights responded with their own pre-union phase of struggle. Thousands of workers were arrested or beaten and scores shot dead for trying to exercise these rights. For example, in 1934 alone there were three general strikes and a huge national textile strike - all marked by substantial violence. Largely in response to this upsurge, in 1935 the Federal government passed the Wagner Act hoping to legalize the labor movement and divert it into more moderate channels. According to a recent study by labor law historian James Gray Pope, the massive sit-down strikes and factory occupations of the following year cajoled the Supreme Court into reversing its own precedents and accepting the Wagner Act as constitutional. American workers did not get their rights by waiting for the government to provide them; rather, they began asserting rights they believe they were entitled to, and thereby forced the Congress and the courts to acquiesce. One innovative labor strategy that is being encouraged by CLB as a way to relate to the new emerging Chinese labor movement is the CC-2005 Campaign or Collective Contract 2005. (According to CLB staff, the Campaign's name is a slightly cheeky designation, thinking in terms ofSA-8000 and other Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standards.) Under existing Chinese labor law, where there is no union presence in a factory, workers are allowed to elect their own representatives to negotiate and sign a collective contract. With the ACFTU holding only 30% representation outside the government sector, CLB is trying to take advantage of this legal'loop-hole' by urging multi-national corporations that operate in China 'to pressure their supplier factories into allowing the workers to negotiate a proper collective contract in the workplace.' The innovation ofthis approach is the use of existing Corporate Codes of Conducts to negotiate binding collective agreements with enforceable rights. CLB views the CC-2005 campaign an opportunity to create a basic organizing space that is legally protected in the private sector. As Han Dongfang, Director of CLB, explains, 'What we want to do is get this collective contract regulation connected, with a code of conduct, a corporate social

In a 27-page report written for lawmakers, the research service said the Bush administration is using signing statements as a means to slowly condition Congress into accepting the White House's broad conception of presidential power, which includes a presidential right to ignore laws he believes are unconstitutional. The ``broad and persistent nature of the claims of executive authority forwarded by President Bush appear designed to inure Congress, as well as others, to the belief that the president in fact possesses expansive and exclusive powers upon which the other branches may not intrude, the report said. Under most interpretations of the Constitution, the report said, some of the legal assertions in Bush's signing statements are dubious. For example, it said, the administration has suggested repeatedly that the president has exclusive authority over foreign affairs and has an absolute right to withhold information from Congress. Such assertions are ``generally unsupported by established legal principles, the report said. Despite such criticism, the administration has continued to issue signing statements for new laws. Last week, for example, Bush signed the 2007 military budget bill, but then issued a statement challenging 16 of its provisions. The bill bars the Pentagon from using any intelligence that was collected illegally, including information about Americans that was gathered in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable government surveillance. In Bush's signing statement, he suggested that he alone could decide whether the Pentagon could use such information. His signing statement instructed the military to view the law in light of ``the president's constitutional authority as commander in chief, including for the conduct of intelligence operations, and to supervise the unitary executive branch. Bush also challenged three sections that require the Pentagon to notify Congress before diverting funds to new purposes, including top-secret activities or programs. Congress had already decided against funding. Bush said he was not bound to obey such statutes if he decided, as commander in chief, that withholding such information from Congress was necessary to protect security secrets. Like all Congressional Research Service reports, the report, dated Sept. 20 and titled ``Presidential Signing Statements: Constitutional and Institutional Implications, was written for members of Congress and was not made available to the public. The Federation of American Scientists has posted a copy on its website. The report marked the latest installment in a recent debate over the Bush administration's use of signing statements. A signing statement is issued by the president as he signs a bill into law. It describes his interpretation of the bill, and it sometimes declares that one or more of the laws created by the bill are unconstitutional and thus need not be enforced or obeyed as written. Signing statements date to the 19th century but were rare until the 1980s. The Bush-Cheney administration has taken the practice to unprecedented levels. Bush has used signing statements to challenge more than 800 laws that place limits or requirements on the executive branch, saying they intrude on his constitutional powers. By contrast, all previous presidents challenged a combined total of about 600 laws. This year, The Boston Globe published a detailed accounting of the laws Bush has claimed he has the power to disobey, including a torture ban and oversight provisions in the USA Patriot Act. The report prompted widespread concerns, but critics have not been able to agree on precisely the nature of the problem. For example, the American Bar Association concluded that the issue was the mechanism itself. The American Bar Association called signing statements ``contrary to the rule of law and

NEW ALAN SONDHEIM WHAT WE LIVE W/ SAADET TRKVZ CD'S AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER
(yes, I know, shameless self-promotion but the work is good) From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 5 11:41:05 2006 Subject: preorder alan sondheim what welive w/ saadet [x-unknown] trkz cds PREORDER. (for more information: http://www.museumfire.com/news) We are proud to announce that our next two releases, Ski/nn by Alan Sondheim and Sound Catcher by What We Live w/ Saadet Trkz are now available for preorder. FM 07 Ski/nn: The return of Alan Sondheim! A recording of solo acoustic guitar and alpine zither songs, this release will delight those familiar with his early Riverboat (reissued as FM 04) and ESP Disc recordings as well as the audience for experimental solo guitar - while creating an audience for experimental solo alpine zither! On this release, Alan performs on the 1927 martin tenor guitar, 19th century parlor guitar, 1920s prime alpine zither and 1860s elegie alpine zither. Dan Wharburton of Paris Transatlantic said of the reissue of The Songs: an endearingly ramshackle melting pot of free jazz, blues and folk (if Eugene Chadbourne later described his work as free improvised country western bebop then this is free improvised Hawaiian flamenco gospel blues music theatre).. its influence resonates (indirectly, one imagines, unless there are more copies of the original vinyl in circulation than I imagine) in the free folk of today's New Weird America scene. Now listeners have the opportunity to hear for themselves the present day song form manifestations of this overlooked creative master. FM 08 Sound Catcher What We Live is a San Francisco based jazz/ improvised music group formed by bassist/composer Lisle Ellis in 1994. The three regular members are Lisle Ellis: acoustic bass; Lawrence Ochs, tenor and sopranino saxophones; Don Robinson, drums and percussion. Ellis' initial vision was to bring together a small group of musicians to investigate concepts central to the tradition of jazz-based improvisation swing, song form, modalities, etc - in a less explicit manner than the mainstream but in a more emphatically traditional way than offered by the practice of free jazz. Their resumes include time spent with Cecil Taylor, Paul Bley, ROVA, Fred Frith, Terry Riley, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, John Tchicai and a virtual whos who of improvised/creative music. Saadet Trkz was born in Istanbul in 1961. Due to the political pressures of the Chinese government upon the Turk people in East Turkestan, her parents fled to Istanbul where they settled as Kazakh refugees. They transmitted to her the rich oral and musical traditions of Central Asia. At 20 years of age, she left Istanbul for Switzerland, where she experienced an exciting new world of music: free jazz, improvisation and a refreshing openness towards experimentation that paralleled her unbiased approach to the musical traditions of her origins.

Our nation's lakes, rivers and coastal waters are in urgent danger! Although Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972 to help eliminate pollution from all of these waters, the Bush Administration has been instructing its agencies to not enforce the Clean Water Act! It may seem unbelievable, but under this directive, more than 90% of waters in some states are in danger of losing all Clean Water Act protections including those that provide more than 110 million Americans with their drinking water! You and I cannot allow this to continue . . . and that's why we need your help. http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=oPi2UgIBVimlDlYfwCSBKA.. Since the president and the EPA are not enforcing the Clean Water Act, the Sierra Club is organizing a nationwide effort to pressure Congress to ensure our waters are kept clean. But we cannot do it without your support. Your generous contribution today will help ensure that none of our nation's waters are stripped of the protections they need to remain safe from pollutants that kill fish, harm wildlife, and jeopardize public health. http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=m-c-FOqapdV_i4vEwvmIhQ.. The Bush Administration policies have unilaterally stripped small streams and so-called isolated wetlands and ponds of their federal protections. But scientists have documented that very few waters are truly isolated. Even small wetlands, headwater streams, and seasonal waterways have serious effects on the chemical, physical and biological integrity of waters downstream. So when developers, the oil industry and polluters are allowed to pollute so-called isolated waters, they introduce pollutants into drinking water sources, threaten public health and force communities to pay more to treat drinking water. Your urgent contribution will assist our fight to protect every wetland, river, stream and lake from the reckless actions of the Bush Administration. http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=BPe4qSo8J7RCjM-tVTLHeQ.. The EPA estimates that the Clean Water Act keeps more than 900 million pounds of sewage and a billion pounds of toxic chemicals out of our waterways every year. So please act now. For every day we wait, more and more of our nation's waters are losing their Clean Water protections and being filled with toxins, pollutants, factory farm waste and more. Thank you for your generous support. Carl Pope Executive Director P.S. This is a sweeping change to a critical law that could affect the health of millions of Americans, as well as kill fish and harm wildlife. Please support the Sierra Club's fight to protect our nation's waters . . . as well as our other work to protect America's wildlife, wildlands, air and water. http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=defC_tpA723aVsIm6QF9QA..
