	Labor Right sinks same-sex scheme - www.theage.com.au
		Labor leader Mark Latham's right-wing faction has scuttled a plan to give gay couples the same legal recognition as married couples.
		Shadow attorney-general Nicola Roxon yesterday confirmed that the party's Right faction had opposed the measure, a proposed "partnership recognition scheme" similar to the one newly introduced in Tasmania, where couples can register as official partners and collect similar legal entitlements to married people.
		Rainbow Labor spokesman Matthew Loader said yesterday that the scheme did not amount to gay marriage, as it allowed all sorts of relationships to be formalised as legally recognisable, including relationships between siblings or other co-dependents.

	Labor Right - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Right claims to represent the social democratic (as opposed to socialist) element within the party.
		The Right is currently the dominant faction in the Labor party, with leader, Kim Beazley, and a majority of the shadow Ministers coming from this faction.
		A criticism of the dominance of the Right in the ALP is that it has led to a situation where the Liberal and Labor parties are virtually identical on some serious issues of policy, in particular economics, gay rights and abortion.

	Labor Rights and Trade: Guidance for the United States in Trade Accord Negotiations (Human Rights Watch Backgrounder, ...
		Labor rights should be at the forefront of the United States' negotiations on the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), as well as bilateral accords with Chile and Singapore and proposed agreements with Central America, Morocco, and Australia.
		These core labor rights are enshrined in eight core ILO conventions: Conventions 138 and 182 on child labor; Conventions 87 and 98 on freedom of association and collective bargaining; Conventions 29 and 105 on forced or compulsory labor; and Conventions 100 and 111 on workplace discrimination.
		Labor rights provisions in trade accords can be effectively implemented only when nongovernmental organizations, trade unions, companies, and other interested members of the public, as well as parties to the accord, can submit allegations of non-compliance to an independent, non-political oversight body with authority to levy adequate penalties to ensure compliance.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 238, LABOR, The Right to: Library of Economics and Liberty
		The right to labor, that socialistic claim, must not be confounded with the right of working, that possession of every man, of which Turgot has rightly said that it is the highest, the most sacred, the most indefeasible of all.
		To have the right to labor is to have the right to wages, to wages which assure the subsistence of the workman; and as the needs of subsistence ("to each one according to his needs," said Louis Blane) vary with situations and individuals, it is having the right to wages which the laborer determines himself.
		The serf has the right to receive support from the proprietor because the proprietor has a right to the labor of the serf; but to emancipate the laborers from the soil in the first place, afterward from the claims of monopoly, and then to by hypothecate property for their subsistence, would be a contradiction.

	National Organisation of Labor Students - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Organisation of Labor Students (usually known as NOLS), was a factional grouping operating within the Australian National Union of Students, generally sympathetic towards the Socialist Left faction of the Australian Labor Party (ALP).
		Labor students were divided over the Hawke Government's introduction of HECS in 1989.
		Even prior to the formation of Student Unity, it was customary within the union for Labor Left students to gain the presidency, and the Labor Right students to gain the position of Deputy President/General Secretary.

	Fr. Robert A. Sirico on Monsignor George G. Higgins & Labor on National Review Online (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As a priest with a doctorate in labor economics, he was uniquely qualified to speak on behalf of Catholic social teaching concerning the dignity of the worker.
		Under Communism, all laborers were slaves of the state (not of capital per se) and to thus champion their right to organize is to favor their freedom of association against exploitative state industries that would deny their rights.
		Labor unions, on the other hand, are not about individual choice but rather collective bargaining that starts with the assumption that private capital is not the friend of labor but its antagonist.

		The Right believes that anyone who does not succeed or prosper in the system lacks the necessary self-discipline, or was born with the wrong genes.
		Union members have a right to their opinions on any given issue and that must be respected, but they must be aware of a political movement whose strategy it is to distract and manipulate working class voters.
		The Right also sees the gun control issue as a means to divert workers from voting according to their economic interests and that of their families.

	What Non-Union Employers Should Know About The National Labor Relations Act 06-12-2001
		Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection and shall have the right to refrain from any or all such activities….
		The court, in that unionized setting, ruled that the right of an employee to union representation upon request at an investigatory interview is grounded in the Section 7 guaranty of the right of employees to act in concert for mutual aid and protection.
		Those employers who wish to safeguard their employees’ right to an election should, when presented with such a request, merely decline and communicate that such an important employee issue should be determined by the employees pursuant to a secret ballot election.

	Come Together Right Now -- In These Times
		Despite Sweeney’s reform victory nearly a decade ago, the labor movement has made progress mainly in its political work, not in the crucial task of organizing in a globalized economy where many workers’ jobs are moved out of the country and U.S. workers increasingly face powerful multinational corporations.
		While it is still possible that someone, perhaps Wilhelm or Laborers president Terry O’Sullivan could challenge Sweeney for reelection next year, there are signs that NUP leaders could support Sweeny if he is wiling to push hard for reforms, such as enforceable rules on mergers and organizing, many of which he has long advocated.
		I have been a labor union member and activist for over 15 years, and in my experience, the way to get unions moving again is to end the domination by a few officers and instead return the power to the membership.

	Public Policy Position on "Right to Work" Laws - New Mexico Conference of Churches
		What it does do, and all that it does, is to undermine the stability and strength of labor unions and the foundations of the collective bargaining process which are the principal protection of individual workers against potentially capricious hiring and firing practices of management in industrial and service employment situations.
		The National Labor Relations Act, passed in 1935 and declared constitutional in 1937, was the first fully-effective legal guarantee of this natural right.
		While such laws may not constitutionally deny labor's right to organize freely into unions, they do outlaw a traditional form of union-management relationship sanctioned by long usage in our country, namely, and principally, the union shop where the employee is required to join the union within a certain period of time after being hired.

	Critique of the Gotha Programme-- I
		In present-day society, the instruments of labor are the monopoly of the landowners (the monopoly of property in land is even the basis of the monopoly of capital) and the capitalists.
		These deductions from the "undiminished" proceeds of labor are an economic necessity, and their magnitude is to be determined according to available means and forces, and partly by computation of probabilities, but they are in no way calculable by equity.
		The "undiminished" proceeds of labor have already unnoticeably become converted into the "diminished" proceeds, although what the producer is deprived of in his capacity as a private individual benefits him directly or indirectly in his capacity as a member of society.

	The Time Is Right for Labor's Push on Immigration Reform (Aug. 16, 2001)
		Unions as diverse as the Laborers, Teamsters, Garment and Textile Workers, Hotel Employees, and Service Employees have taken a new look at the immigration issue and have concluded that the only sensible policy is an extension of democratic rights to all who labor in America's offices, factories and restaurants, and its construction and agricultural sectors.
		But the truth is that the domestic reflection of globalization — the immigration explosion — is equally important, as the supply of cheap labor has increased dramatically in the last two decades.
		Labor unions have historically supported strong restrictions on immigration as a means of controlling labor supply.

	untiedmethodist.com: God in the labor movement -- Labor Day weekend with Michael Szpak: Part Three
		At their best, labor unions are committed to a vision of a just society where all persons are treated with dignity and respect.
		In order that the rights of all members of the society may be maintained and promoted, we support innovative bargaining procedures that include representatives of the public interest in negotiation and settlement of labor-management contracts, including some that may lead to forms of judicial resolution of issues.
		Through worker rights advocacy activities during strikes, lockouts, boycotts and union organizing campaigns, I have assisted labor unions and their members to confront corporations, many that are global in nature, who would destroy their union or rob them of dignity and respect.

		The labor concession was embodied in an amendment to the bill proposed by Senator Bob Packwood, R-Oregon, and accepted by Metzenbaum.

		However, he says, if Bush manages to hold on to the presidency, labor will again be confronted with an anti-worker administration, and would certainly face a veto of any legislation attempting to limit the rights of employers.

		Unfortunately, due to federally-imposed loopholes in Idaho's Right to Work laws, thousands of employees across the state are still captive to the discredited system of forced union dues.
