| By Juan Rojas and Antonio Palmer, Bay Area WIL  On November 2,Oakland saw one of the biggest demonstrations in years with different sectors of the working class coming together to make their voices heard and successfully shutting down one of the biggest ports in the United States. It was a clear indication that the U.S. workers are reaching the limit of what they can take. However, the media did very little to report on these actions; instead it focused on the graffiti, smashed windows and confrontations with the police that involved a small minority, a small and unaccountable group at its fringes. This is a blatant attempt to demonize the movement and to present a violent image of it as a movement headed by anarchists and ruffians.

By Fred Weston  Berlusconi has lost his majority in the lower house of the Italian parliament. Although he won a vote on the latest round of austerity measures included in the budget, he did so with less than half the votes of the MPs in parliament. The result of the vote was 308 in favour, 1 abstention, but with the majority of MPs not voting. This means the budget was approved but now Berlusconi stands naked having lost his parliamentary majority. His days are numbered and the pressure is mounting for him to go.

| | OTHER LANGUAGES | | By Alan Woods La cattura e l'uccisione del colonnello Gheddafi sono state descritte dai mass media in tutti i dettagli scabrosi possibili. Con la morte di Gheddafi e la presa di Sirte, il Consiglio nazionale di transizione (CNT) sta parlando di formare un governo di transizione. Il CNT è riconosciuto dalle potenze imperialiste, di cui rappresenta gli interessi. Tuttavia, molti libici guardano con diffidenza giustificata al CNT e ai suoi sostenitori imperialisti. |

Les quarante salariés de la blanchisserie industrielle Net Eclair, à l'aéroport de Roissy, occupent leur entreprise depuis le 6 octobre, jour où la direction a annoncé son intention de la liquider. Elle a pour activité le nettoyage des linges d'avion.
