SEIU #503's Director Heather Conroy sets Oregonian straight on so-called "Facts", 27-02-2013 - 00:16
Today the Oregonian ran yet another flawed, misinformed story this time flagging that Oregon PERS members benefits are more generous than those of neighboring states and making a stink that Oregon public workers don't contribute to their retirement based on a flawed study released by the Center for Public Policy at PSU.

Many seek to justify the repressive character of the current regimes as a price that must be paid for achieving progress.

Peace champion advocates direct action
Jason Houk, 27-12-2012 - 16:40
According to Medea Benjamin, her experiences growing up in Long Island, New York in the turbulent 1960s had a powerful impact on her worldview. Racial tensions and the war in Vietnam divided her community as well as the country. “Activism kind of chose me,” she said. “Issues around racism, injustice and war were part of my high school years and really affected my thinking about how messed up the world is.”

Rogue Residents Against Walmart urges Walmart to Respect Workers
Rogue Residents Against Walmart (Worker Retaliation), 24-11-2012 - 22:25
RRAW, Rogue Residents Against Walmart is in the process of possibly changing our name to RRAWWR - Rogue Residents Against Walmart Worker Retaliation.
RRAWWR asserts that most of the workers get so few hours that they qualify for food stamps, get no health or pension benefits until they have been with the corporation so many years, and that the Walton family has accumulated as much wealth as nearly half the US population by depriving their workers of a living.
