I was just reading today's Labor Notes and see that there have been numerous trade union activists targetted and assassinated in Iraq. I'm not clear on why this is happening or who the people are who are involved, but this is a story that deserves wider attention. If anyone reading has more information on the killings, please post a comment.
Also from Labor notes, I found this blog, which has news of people killed at work this week. These kinds of everyday work deaths are rarely reported anywhere, but when the numbers of job-related deaths are calculated they always reveal the callousness of capitalism.
