Milwaukee workers demand fair wages

10:33 AM Tukiyooo 0

Low-wage employees and those out-of-work in Milwaukee stormed the local chamber of commerce last week to protest that more than a third of the city's workforce are making poverty-level wages even when employed year-round.<br /><br /><a href="http://expressmilwaukee.com/article-21402-low-wage-workers-tell-mmac:-%E2%80%98we-need-a-raise%E2%80%99.html">About 50 people</a> took over the offices of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) to demand that the city's businesses increase wages so workers can be lifted out of poverty. An estimated 100,000 full-time workers in Milwaukee currently don't make enough to make ends meet, according to a recent <a href="http://www.cows.org/_data/documents/ex_1491.pdf">report</a>.<br /><br />Katina Carter from Raise Up Milwaukee said the report by the Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS) is evidence that while jobs paying poverty wages are booming in the city, MMAC is doing little to help improve the lives of workers:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Economic recovery has not happened under the current direction of the MMAC and will continue to fail unless the leaders, the members of the chamber of commerce, face reality and accept the evidence you have in your hand that it’s time to implement real regulations in the best interests of the people, the workers.</blockquote>The COWS report, released in late June, showed that 35 percent of Milwaukee employees earned poverty-level wages last year. The document states it takes a salary of $11.19 per hour to cover the bare necessities for a family of four in the city. The increase in poverty has resulted from manufacturing jobs being replaced with service-industry employment:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">As better jobs in manufacturing have gone away, poverty-wage jobs have expanded. Increasingly workers do not make enough to cover their basic expenses, cannot rely on the hours they need to get by, cannot afford or qualify for health insurance, cannot afford even to ride the bus to get to work.</blockquote>DeAngelo Coleman, a Pizza Hut employee who earns $7.75 an hour, said it is not right that big businesses gets rich while paying their workers so little:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">I'm sure if they could pay me less they would pay me less.</blockquote>

TAFTA delay good for workers

10:16 AM Tukiyooo 0

Allegations that the U.S. government spied on several European governments is putting a cramp in efforts to kick off negotiations of the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA). Some EU officials have suggested that talks set to begin next week in Washington be postponed. That's good news for workers.<br /><br />The French government<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/new-threat-to-us-eu-trade-talks/2013/07/03/b014a68a-e3d8-11e2-bffd-37a36ddab820_story.html"> is calling</a> for a two-week delay in TAFTA discussions, while a German official suggested that citizens with privacy concerns should steer clear of U.S. Internet companies Google and Facebook. Their comments come after former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden accused the American government of intercepting communications with some EU diplomats.<br /><br />For anyone concerned about the U.S. middle class and consumer safety, the postponement of talks would be a welcome respite. Those involved with TAFTA have done their best to keep discussion of the trade pact under wraps, much like what has been done for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. But some details have emerged.<br /><br />A recent Public Citizen <a href="http://citizen.typepad.com/eyesontrade/2013/07/will-the-trans-atlantic-spying-scandal-kill-the-trans-atlantic-trade-scandal.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+eyesontrade+%28Eyes+on+Trade%29">blog</a>, for instance, exposes that U.S. and European corporations want to use TAFTA to water down necessary agriculture, communications, energy production and financial safeguards. That has drawn criticism from consumer, environmental, health, farmer, labor and tech groups in both the EU and here:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">The NSA’s overreaching national security agenda has jeopardized their overreaching corporate agenda to use TAFTA to roll back financial, climate and food safety standards that make doing business less convenient.  If the two agendas would cancel each other out, perhaps we could get on with an agenda that’s actually supported by the public – from environmental stability to public health to personal privacy. </blockquote>The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), meanwhile, announced it obtained a set of EU position papers that summarize some of their initial regulatory goals within the automobile sector, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and competition policy, as well as a proposed chapter on trade and sustainable development. While there are some relevant points, the <a href="http://www.iatp.org/blog/201307/trade-secrets-">IATP notes</a> they can't be considered in a vacuum:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Consistent multilateral rules on difficult issues make sense, but let’s make sure trade is put in its place. Rules that provide for a safe workplace, protect public health and the environment, and promote energy and food security have been lost in trade agreements of the past. And the fact is that many advances in standards start at the local level and work their way to the national and, ideally, international levels.</blockquote>Stay tuned...<br /><br /><br />

When it screened at Cannes in 1964, the crowd booed and, in its time, the film was generally dismissed as conventional and disappointing. Following as it did on the heels of his innovative and much-admired earlier works<i> - </i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The 400 Blows </i>(1959), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Shoot the Piano Player </i>(1960) and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Jules and Jim </i>(1962) - <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Soft Skin</i> was derided by some as Truffaut’s bid for mainstream acceptance. Stuffy New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther, who famously fell badly out of step with the times in the ‘60s, called it “a curiously crude and hackneyed drama.” However, as so often happens, with the passage of years came reassessment and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Soft Skin</i>, though still relatively obscure among Truffaut’s films, has gained a reputation among film buffs as one of his stronger efforts. A deceptively straightforward but suspenseful modern domestic drama, it deals with the sudden and ardent extramarital affair of a celebrated literary scholar, and features affecting performances by its two stars - Jean Desailly as the besotted intellectual and Francois Dorleac as the beautiful young thing of a flight attendant who turns his well-ordered life upside down. <a href="http://www.criterion.com/explore/81-georges-delerue"><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Georges Delerue</b></span></a>, the award-winning composer who scored 11 Truffaut films, composed a striking score evocative of the frantic pace and emotional disconnect that marked the Space Age.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnQzcCEqXySpplRl7WL9KMWDzwyF6UKg38MO2Uiiqd7WG1_2N5ryN_fTrykiIGVfFco-pP7Bu7rDCgmfoEw9yXCav-ZfUxtGx5CS7wnW4HFFccqa0r7d0aK0c5aRJrRNccad9wudWdmcE/s626/Hitchcock-Truffaut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnQzcCEqXySpplRl7WL9KMWDzwyF6UKg38MO2Uiiqd7WG1_2N5ryN_fTrykiIGVfFco-pP7Bu7rDCgmfoEw9yXCav-ZfUxtGx5CS7wnW4HFFccqa0r7d0aK0c5aRJrRNccad9wudWdmcE/s320/Hitchcock-Truffaut.jpg" width="255" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Alfred Hitchcock and Francois Truffaut</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Soft Skin </i>was the first of four films in what is known as Truffaut’s “Hitchcock cycle,” a group of films he was working on at the time he conducted and published his <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/393601.Hitchcock_Truffaut"><b><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">now-famous interviews</span></span></b></a> with the Master of Suspense, each of which reflects Hitchcock's influence. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Soft Skin</i> was followed in the cycle by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fahrenheit 451 </i>(1966), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bride Wore Black </i>(1968) and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mississippi Mermaid</i> (1969).
