Super-CALI-fragilistic-expealidocious!
On Tuesday, workers from the Colombian City of Cali, who have been
occupying the communications tower of Emcali since Christmas Day won an
historic victory (See last weeks SchNEWS). An agreement was signed by the
Colombian government, the Mayor of Cali, and the union guaranteeing that
the company will not be privatised, that there will be no price increases
this year, and that a high level anti-corruption inquiry will investigate
and bring to justice all of those people who have siphoned off public
resources from the company in recent years. If you want to hear more, Mario
Novelli whose been sending daily reports from the occupation, will be
speaking this Saturday (2nd) at the CORAS Centre, 161 Lambeth Walk, SE11.
