	SoundRoots World Music & Global Culture: Monday's mp3: Labor Exchange Day
		Despite the name, Taiwan's Labor Exchange Band (äº¤å·¥æ¨é) appears to have less to do with labor issues and more with environmentalism, in the form of support for anti-dam activists.
		The Labor Exchange Band reworked those traditional songs, ("Here Below the Meinung Mountains"), wrote their own, ("Anti-Dam song"), and sung others which originated from the aboriginal people who inhabit the same area, ("Half Mountain Song").
		The Labor Exchange Band split up only a year after winning a Golden Melody Award for Best Band; some members of the group have formed the Hohak Band.

	LaborNet: Online Communications for a Democratic Labor Movement (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Labor's ills go far beyond its organizing failures or defeats in the electoral arena or its declining membership relative to the size of the labor force.
		Under the 1947 amendments to the Labor Relations Act, unions are deprived of their right to conduct sympathy strikes, to engage in secondary boycotts and, in some cases, the president can prohibit or delay a strike in the interest of national security.
		The social movement unionist is critical of labor institutions such as insurance and union run health plans that, despite the good intentions of their administrators and union leaders, perpetuate the clientization of the membership and for this reason she fights for genuine publicly funded health and pension programs.

	20th WCP: Habermas on Social Labor and Communicative Action
		According to Habermas, the "division of labor in the hominid groups presumably led to a development of two subsystems." The "adult males [came] together in egalitarian hunting bands and occupied, on the whole, a dominant position," whereas the "females...gathered fruit and lived together with their young, for whom they cared" (133-35).
		Having argued that the Marxian concept of social labor applies to both hominid and human society because each has an economic form of reproducing life, he now maintains that the human reproduction of life has to be distinguished from the hominid one by the institutionalization of the "father role" in a family system.
		The social role system that eventually comes to integrate social labor in a human society is linguistically and culturally organized, requires highly competent individuals, and is crucially dependent on the transmission of competences from one generation to the next.

	The last cold warrior
		Collective bargaining arbitration and labor board proceedings were handled by labor relations "professionals." The role left to rank-and-file members was to pay their dues and gratefully accept annual wage increases.
		However, John Sweeney, a moderate, who leads one of the most successful unions acknowledges that the labor movement is "irrelevant to the vast majority of unorganized workers." Sweeney calls for building grass-roots political committees, committing third of unions' revenues to organizing and initiating multi-union, industry-wide campaigns to regain labor's strength and size.
		As labor lawyer Thomas Geoghegan pointed out in his book, Which Side Are You On: Trying To Be For Labor When It's Flat On Its Back, almost all of the tactics used by labor during the great upsurge of the 1930s, including sit-ins, mass picketing, secondary boycotts and strikes over grievances, are now illegal.

	Puzzle Pirates Forums - View Thread - [suggestion] Labor hours should multiply when downgraded.
		If the Basic-Expert exchange rate was 3-to-1, then when an Expert employee's labor is downgraded to Basic, they would lose 1 hour from their labor pool, and be paid for 3 hours of basic, while the shop would be charged for 3 hours of labor for throughput purposes.
		Losing one hour from they labor pool and getting payed 3 hours of basic labor is the same as 72 hours labor pool per day, if we were to apply a 3-1 change rate, goodmanj.
		Labor throughput would be seriously affected undercutting those who not being good at the puzzle yet would not get their labor used.

	Children and labor CALLOUSED CONSCIENCES The Limited Challenge to Child Labor
		The convention targets, not all 250 million child laborers (under the age of 15) worldwide, but "all forms of slavery [of children], forced or compulsory labor, debt bondage and serfdom," child prostitution, and the use of children in the drug trade.
		Their labor, then, supports sectors tied to the global economy and is not a remnant of some older, agrarian order.
		Refusing to split apart the "special" question of child labor from exploitation in general may be the key which unlocks the child labor issue-placing the onus not on the aberration of exploiting children, but on a world system which makes this and other forms of hyper-exploitation all too typical.

		This faculty, given to men and to men alone, to work for each other, to transmit their efforts, and to exchange their services through time and space, with all the infinite and varied combinations thereby involved, is precisely what constitutes economic science, identifies its origin, and determines its limits.....
		If the amount of labor and capital that has been expended on the agricultural lands of France were capitalized, Bastiat contended, the current return in the form of rent would be considered a most unattractive investment today.
		Bastiat was particularly anxious to refute the gloomy theories of Ricardo and Malthus in regard to wages, rent, population, and starvation.

	People's Daily Online -- RMB exchange rate reform--decided out of China's own need
		Improving the RMB exchange rate formation mechanism is the inherent requirement for the establishment of a sound socialist market economy system, as well as an important content of deepening reform to the economic-financial system and strengthening the macro-control system.
		Perfecting the RMB exchange rate formation mechanism and allowing it to be more elastic make it possible to give better play to the basic role of the market in the allocation of resources; this helps improve the initiative and efficiency of financial regulation and control and thus helps strengthen and improve macro regulation and control.
		Perfecting the RMB exchange rate formation mechanism is conducive to implementation of the strategy for the sustainable development of the economy based mainly on domestic demand and to optimization of resources allocation.

		The band has identified its formation as an event borne out of the anti-dam movement and seen its work as intertwined with the movement.
		From its inception the band has made the Hakka mountain song central to their expression.
		In 2003 the band struggled with the question of whether to pursue greater professionalism (as was demanded by their tour schedule) or "return to musical work as life, life as work".

	Council races come down to causes, cash \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		But ideological divisions will come into play on a narrow band of matters – workplace issues such as pay, for example, and social issues – and it is here that the council breakdown will be critical.
		The mayor needs a five-vote majority on these matters by February or be forced to consider Plan B – collecting signatures to qualify the matters for the November ballot, a tougher task.
		Jerry Butkiewicz, secretary-treasurer of the San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council, says the battle is not between unions and the business elite, but between "the neighborhoods" and the business elite.

	Whither Labor? Jerry Tucker Reports on the 2005 AFL-CIO Convention
		His point was clear: now the rupture in top labor’s ranks precipitated by the breakaway of several large unions at the start of the week was coursing its way to the union base.
		The band was trying to play "Solidarity Forever" as the delegates were leaving, but even the band seemed to reflect the mood, as the music has a slower, almost dirge-like sound to it.
		A labor convention is often a difficult event to report on, particularly when conflicts, as unusual as they are, occur between factions.

	Hakka's second new wave (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After five years of reinventing a Hakka music born of rigorous devotion to local community issues and introducing the notion that tradition can also include fusion, the social urgency binding the band was fading, and its members decided to amicably part ways.
		Three band members are Hakka - Chen, Chung, and Kwok - and the group interprets the Hakka musical tradition mostly through instrumentation - especially drums and the banhu - and Hakka melodies, which derive from the language's tonal values.
		Also great was Baseball, a Melbourne scene band (with a fiddle, a la the Dirty Three, but it saws more rhythm than melody), and the band of Melissa Auf Der Maur (former bass player for Hole and Smashing Pumpkins) was tight, LA rock-ish, and a little random.
