Lucien:

Can't get there, despite your red exclamation mark (said he with a black 
one)!

On the other hand, I do have a message, which has been passed around the web 
but might not have reached your part of it.

Feel free to put it on everyone's chairs, with or without Exclamation Marx.

PS. Do not fail to post an immediate report, which you can qualify later in 
the light of the dialectic. If you fail to do so may the wrath of Joe Hill 
be upon you.

Public debate
ALL WELCOME!

IS LABOUR HISTORY?
Working Class Movements into the 21st Century

Friday 28th July, 7 pm, John Moffat Building,
East Campus, Wits University,  Johannesburg.

Working class movements played a key role in twentieth century struggles for 
democracy, freedom and equality.

Can they do the same in a 21st century of globalisation and rising 
inequality and conflict?
