The latest attack on workers' rights around the world is now hitting the people who make public transportation possible in many of the world's metro areas. Tehran and New York City are both in states that are bitterly opposed to one another but share the similarity of not allowing public transportation workers to organize and fight back against the attacks by local transportation companies. In both Tehran and New York City, local or national governments have deliberately tried to hamper the efforts of striking workers who want their unions to defend workers' rights.

Fellow workers,
A European strike is organized dying 16 -17 of January 2006 by maritime and dockworkers. The strike will be held in 29 ports of 10 countries throughout Europe. The strikers are against the new European direction, regarding the free sea trade. Greek marine transport workers, along with the solidarity of the antiauthoritarian movement, ship builders union of Perama and Greek Wobblies, will participate in the forthcoming strike by closing the ports in Piraeus, Patra & Thessaloniki.
In the heat of this new battle, European & Greek dockworkers call the maritime unions around the world to awake and support their strike by sending a solidarity statement or organise an action in their local work places. This strike is an attempt to reignite militancy and to underscore the necessity of international workers’ organisation for a revolutionary industrial unionism in today’s global economy.

Speech By NAKAMURA Yoshimasa
Vice-President, MINATO-GODO (Metal and Machinery Workers’ Union in Osaka)
Last November, Brother Pak Sang Yun of KCTU suddenly passed away. He made a powerful and moving speech at the last November rally. We express our deep grief.
At the beginning of this rally, we ask all of you to give a silent prayer for Brother Pak San Yun and all the brothers and sisters who are falling down in madness with anger at class struggle. Please stand up!
Please close your eyes and pray for them.
Offer a silent prayer for Brother Pak Sang Yun.
Brothers and sisters from around Japan, and from the United States of America and South Korea! Thank you for your participation in this rally. I greet you on behalf of the three unions that have organized this rally. Today’s rally, called for by the three unions, is the eighth of our annual November National Works’ Rallies.
We are very glad to see that year-by-year the number of participants has been growing and that this rally has been gathering a wide range of people who seek international solidarity.
