	People's Weekly World Newspaper Online - Longshore union wins victory for all labor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The union has won the best pension plan in the history of the labor movement, the cost to the employers of providing the same benefits will more than double over the six years, and won on all the basic union jurisdiction issues.
		The union jurisdiction victory, which includes bringing back outsourced work to the docks, and the projected growth in the industry are expected to offset the number of jobs lost.
		The union accepted a six-year contract, which is generally not considered favorable for labor, but the fact that the historic pension and health package will be in place for six years is a positive for dockers.

	My Private Ballot
		Congress has launched an all-out assault on the use of private ballots in elections to decide whether or not a worker wants to join a union.

		If the final official results put the Patriotic Coalition over the 3 percent threshold, the number of seats for Djukanovic's allies would be reduced to no more than 37 seats, one seat short of an absolute majority.
		Even under the worst-case scenario for Djukanovic's supporters, the bloc still would be able to form a governing coalition by enlisting the support of two ethnic Albanian parties thought to have secured at least four parliamentary seats.
		What is clear from the preliminary results is that since the elections in May of last year, Djukanovic's coalition has gained support at the expense of radical parties on both sides of the independence issue.

	East European Constitutional Review
		There have been some signs that a few non-DP members of the opposition coalition Union for Victory (of which DP was the leading member) may return to parliament, and two of the deputies from the Legality (Monarchist) Party, a member of the coalition as well, have actually done so.
		SP, the Union for Victory coalition, RDP, and SDP had passed the threshold, but SP's three other coalition partners-HRUP, DAP, and AP-were just shy of 2.5 percent.
		Despite the majority held by the SP coalition, both the factions within the party and its strained relations with some of the other coalition partners, as well as the fact that voting is secret, make it unlikely that the party can dictate who will win the election.

	East European Constitutional Review
		The 1997 ballot was held during a state of emergency, and the elections before that, in 1996, when Berisha's DP won a resounding victory, were widely considered rigged.
		The Union for Victory opposition coalition, mostly led by DP, also includes the Republican Party (RP), the National Front Party (NFP), the monarchist Legality Movement Party (LMP), and the Liberal Party (LP).
		The total number of parliamentary seats allotted to any party or coalition (surpassing the 2.5 percent and 4 percent thresholds respectively), ideally would be commensurate with the percentage of the national vote they received.

	Germany: SPD and union parties prepare for grand coalition
		Arithmetically there is a possibility that the SPD could draw even with the union parties as a result of the Dresden vote, with both parties having the same number of deputies in the Bundestag.
		Merkel will become chancellor of a grand coalition, but she will be surrounded by influential politicians from the ranks of the state prime ministers whose job will be to keep her under control.
		In the last years of the Schröder government, numerous decisions on new laws were made by mediation committees representing a de facto coalition with the Union parties, which controlled the upper house of parliament.

	Washingtonpost.com: A Victory for Christian Coalition
		In the North campaign, she said, the Christian Coalition overstepped by providing the campaign with a valuable list of state supporters, an impermissible corporate contribution by the group, which is incorporated in Virginia.
		The ruling has implications for the 2000 campaign well beyond the Christian Coalition -- as demonstrated by the fact that both the AFL-CIO and the American Civil Liberties Union, "strange bedfellows" according to the judge, entered the case on the Christian Coalition's side.
		She said the Christian Coalition was wrong in insisting that it could have as many conversations with campaigns as it wanted as long as the language it used in voter guides or other material did not cross the line into express advocacy.

		Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, the main opposition group in the country, has gathered in allies from other, smaller centre-right parties to create the 'Union for Victory' electoral coalition.
		Its aim is to emulate the winning formula across the Adriatic - that of Silvio Berlusconi's 'House of Freedom' coalition which triumphed in the recent Italian general election.
		As the months of inter-party squabbling to make or break coalitions wore on over recent months, it looked as if politicians were again in danger of alienating themselves from their electorate, in particular the younger generation.

		It is NAAC’s view that boycott has not and cannot be a constructive means of political engagement and only serves to cultivate a contentious political environment which is a prelude to and contributes in the occurrence of greater crisis.
		Furthermore, considering the universal aspiration of the people of Albania for Euro-Atlantic integration and the recently faded prospects for the signing of the Association and Stabilization Agreement with the European Union, the Albanian parliament should prepare a joint strategy for Albania’s institutional and economic development to present before the EU institutions.
		Whereas the SPA can handle its internal problems in any manner it deems appropriate, it is its responsibility as the majority party and leader of the governing coalition to guarantee the continued governance of the country and not effectively become the cause of an institutional paralysis.
