Weekly Links - 02/12/2007

I have various links for you this week, after what has been quite an exhausting few days.

Industrial
The Remploy dispute continues after the predicted treachery of the management and the government in the shape of Peter Hain. Despite all the assurances and weasel words around the time of the Labour Conference and possible election hysteria, Hain has now agreed to the slippery and vindictive managements' plans. It has been asked - what would have happened if Remploy was a bank?

Elsewhere the National Blood Service dispute also continues, with a campaign to pressurise via councillors in those areas scheduled for NBS cuts. Here is the Save Our Blood Services blog. The IWW continue to work on this issue.

Culture
The campaign to defend the William Morris Gallery continues. This featured this week on the Green Party Trade Union Group Blog.
More on the campaign and what you can do here.

Blogs
Returning to the malign actions of Peter Hain, Louise reports on the latest raft of welfare "reform" proposals on the Socialist Unity blog.
