	WUSTL Update: Student Worker Alliance
		The hunger-strike students are engaging in a behavior that violates the University Student Judicial Code, which prohibits conduct that "threatens or endangers the safety and health" of members of the University community.
		Glass advised the students on the serious health implications of their actions and provided increased warnings to any students who might have a chronic health condition or be taking certain medications.
		He told the students he understands the legitimacy of their concerns, that the issues they raise are complex, and that the university is willing to talk to them about the issues and how we can make Washington University a better place.

	A Student-Worker Alliance is Born - Book Reviews Monthly Review - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		One of the important insights gained by the student activists is that poor workers are not just victims of corporate abuse; they are active agents trying to find ways to improve their own circumstances.
		Workers in the maquiladora plants in Mexico have formed independent unions and conducted strikes and factory occupations in the face of brutal repression.
		By observing first hand the rebellion of workers, the students began to see that they were not just helping poor people but engaging in a collective struggle with them, a struggle transforming their own as well as the workers' lives.

	Spectrezine - France's Student-Worker Alliance
		Mass organizations of high school and university students, all three federations of unions, and all left parties are coordinating actions together.
		This alliance is shaking the French government in ways and to depths not seen since May 1968.
		The messages that this alliance sends across Europe and beyond are (1) that dismantling of the welfare state has reached its limits and (2) that continuing the dismantling risks provoking mass resistance.

	Campus Living Wage Project - Interview with Danielle Christmas (Washington University-St. Louis)
		They were told not to talk to students or anyone else about this, forced to sign a contract severing the terms of their old H2B visa arrangements, and told they would receive their severance pay once they were in the air (clearly to keep anyone from fleeing illegally).
		However, students seem to be realizing more and more that injustice lies close to home with campus worker issues, that they have powerful leverage in affecting the plight of this group of community members, and that to do nothing implicates them in the very structure that continues to disenfranchise the folks around them.
		Students are surprising messengers, and they have leverage and privilege, frankly, in the school and community that other fighters for justice just do not have.

	Rise and Fall of the Anti-Vietnam War Movement in the U.S.
		Workers and students were suppressed, and the U.S. began sending hundreds of troops to Vietnam as advisors to help Diem.
		Black students in the South had organized protests before and actually were the impetus for the civil rights movement, and the boycotts, voter registration drives, and demonstrations in the South became a training ground for hundreds of students from Northern colleges.
		Students were enraged to find that colleges would suspend student activists and then report to the military draft boards the names of those students in order to have them immediately drafted.

		She said the interests of all the students and workers on campus--fighting racism, sexism, and fighting for better working and living conditions for everyone--merge with the interests of the working class and that "rising above" the working class should not be the students' goal.
		The garment workers said it was important for workers and students to unite to fight capitalism.
		Workers and students, no matter their skin color or nationality, have a common interest in destroying capitalism and bosses of all colors.

		On April 4, a group of activists from the school’s Student Worker Alliance (SWA) marched into the admissions office with signs, petitions and fliers--and declared that they wouldn’t be leaving until the administration agreed to pay campus workers a living wage.
		Students have held daily solidarity rallies in the quad outside the admissions office windows and have even begun a small “tent city” outside as well.
		As Socialist Worker went to press, a university council meeting was being held to discuss the code of conduct--and student were promising to continue the sit-in as long as it takes.

	Anarchists on student politics
		We support the progressive student movement in higher education because it is progressive, because it is fighting racism, because we oppose racism wherever it exists, because we stand in solidarity with the struggles of working class students, and because we believe we can recruit serious Anarchist/ Syndicalist activists from it.
		We recognise that the problems students face -low bursaries, bad conditions, racism etc.- are the product of capitalism and the State, and that this has concrete implications for how we approach the student struggle.
		Given students distance from the production process, varied origins and general numbers in the overall population, the student movement is unable to make a revolution.

	granma.cu - The sugar strike and revolutionary action of 1955
		During 1955, workers’ movements sprang up that had social-economic content, but also a strong political aspect, and that is where the FEU came in.
		But the greatest expression of the worker-student alliance that year was the sugar workers’ strike in late December, which was an escalation of the socio-political confrontation with the dictatorship.
		Sugar workers throughout the country were going on strike for their demands throughout almost all of 1955.

	Anarchism Against Maoism (1972) - Melbourne Anarchist Archives
		For example W.S.A. [Worker Student Alliance] newssheets continually tell us that the main enemy of the peoples of Australia (and other parts of the world) is U.S. Imperialism, and imply that all will be well when the people overthrow U.S. Imperialism.
		W.S.A. has done a small amount of the analysis of U.S. Imperialism by examining the economic and political roles of some of the large U.S. corporations in Australia, Indo-China and elsewhere.
		Essentially W.S.A. is using 'U.S. Imperialism' as a scapegoat - a focus for hatred which removes the necessity for thorough analysis: This focus illustrates the shallowness of W.S.A. ideology.

		It is expected that students will attend freshly vacuumed classes, that bathrooms are sanitized regularly, that trash will be removed from buildings, etc. The PandR workers on our campus labor quietly through the day while we are at class and through the night while we sleep.
		Through a series of interactions between this worker-student alliance and the administration of the university in the form of committees and other officially recognized processes, little progress was made towards the end goal of a Living Wage.
		At the end of this struggle a victory was won for workers, students and Georgetown’s commitment to social justice as a Jesuit Institution: the "Just Employment Policy".

	The Re-Emergence Of Obsolete Communism (1972) - Melbourne Anarchist Archives
		That W.S.A. [Worker Student Alliance - Maoist], S.Y.A. [Socialist Youth Alliance - nominally Trotskyist], etc., are counter-revolutionary is obvious from their dogma, organisation and activities.
		The role of Lenin and Trotsky in post-revolutionary Russia was primarily to dismantle the workers' councils or soviets as autonomous bodies and to place them under the control of the Central Committee.
		Until recently the only groups conscious of this were the syndicalist trade unions with their truly revolutionary demands for workers control.

		Workers at Georgetown University will be earning $14 an hour by 2007, thanks to the recent dramatic hunger strike by Georgetown students.
		This win by the California Alliance of Academic Student Employees, a unit of the Auto Workers, is part of the struggle to win union recognition, higher pay and respect for those who labor in the halls of academe.

		Jim was deeply respected by opponents as well as comrades as a student leader, a union leader and as premier of Tasmania.
		There is no great distance from effectively leading rebellious students and workers to effectively leading governments.

		Many of these workers are now on strike demanding that their union be recognized and one worker has even been fired for her pro-union work.

		We continue to stand for workers' rights inspired by the words of Cesar Chavez: "We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community...

	Richard Wolff, "France's Student-Worker Alliance"
		Students and workers in France have forged a powerful alliance against the government and its neo-liberal economic policies.
		What took French neo-liberalism over the edge was a new rule rushed into law (the CPE) by Prime Minister Dominque de Villepin.
		The particular job protections removed by the CPE law simply matter little even for the firms most dependent on the youth labor market targeted by that law.

	CHALLENGE, Feb. 28, 2007
		The vote was a set-up: (1) workers who accepted voluntary separation were excluded from voting; (2) A two-thirds majority was required to maintain the strike, meaning a minority of workers could end it; and (3) management and the bosses’ media browbeat the workers, warning that VW would close the plant if the strike continued.
		Workers and their allies need more than a "social pact" or the "reformed capitalism" proposed by union hacks and López Obrador, who wants to use workers’ anger to revive his sagging movement.
		In their increasing state of crisis, the bosses are blaming immigrant workers for the problems caused by capitalism affecting the entire working class with the goal of pitting fl and immigrant workers against one another.

	Vietnam
		Whichever side wins or loses this much or that much is not the main point; the masses of workers in that region have been stirred and U.C. imperialism will be the biggest loser.
		The struggle of the Vietnamese workers, students, and peasants against the U.C. government and the U.S. military brought on changes that cannot be undone.
		It would be a mistake to overestimate this aspect of discontent; after all, it was mainly the militant, mass struggles of workers in Vietnam and the U.C. that provided the focus and impetus for the Sixties.

	Student-Worker Alliance and Faculty Solidarity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		My friends and students kindly welcomed me into the office on Friday, where they found me a corner by the window with an electrical plug for my lamp.
		I find the atmosphere of satyagraha (non-violent non-cooperation, civil disobedience) invigorating, and the distractions (civil discourse with the Deans, a phone call from John Edwards, polite conversations with office workers, one of whom is one of my best University College grad students) quite interesting and conducive to fair and generous grading.
		Sitting in the SWA demonstration is filling me with creative energy, and restoring my sense of balance and serenity and purpose (something I think we all need now, after a hard semester).
