Guest Workers Fired After Protesting Slave-Like Conditions

Photojournalist and trade unionist David Bacon is author of Communities Without Borders: Images and Voices from the World of Migration.

Hundreds of guest workers from India are protesting conditions in a Pascagoula shipyard that immigrant rights activists compare to slavery. Many gathered in a church on March 11 in this Gulf Coast port, after their employer, Signal International, threatened to send some of the workers home. Signal is a large corporation that repairs and services oil drilling platforms in the Gulf.

Afternoon Forum Highlights Candidates’ Stands on Iraq War

by Mike Hall, Mar 14, 2007

The Fire Fighters union is hosting the nation’s first bipartisan presidential debate of the 2008 election season, and Mike Hall is live-blogging today from the meeting in Washington, D.C. Each candidate will speak for 15 minutes.



Sen. John McCain kicked off the afternoon session with a few jokes—mostly self-deprecating—and those were met with laughs. But his nearly 10-minute, somber but heartfelt, defense of the war in Iraq was met at best with polite applause
