October 3 – Department of Labor and Employment secretary Rosalinda Baldoz announces that the government will assume jurisdiction over the labor dispute in the Philippine Airlines should mediation talks fail. (Assumption of jurisdiction will in effect make any strike illegal.)
October 4 – PAL management spokesperson Cielo Villaluna expresses support for the DOLE secretary’s assumption of jurisdiction over the labor dispute in PAL.
October 5 – PAL mediation talks collapse.
In deciding to assume jurisdiction over the labor dispute in PAL, and especially in eagerly announcing this decision ahead of the mediation talks, the Aquino government is directly responsible for the talks’ collapse.
By making this decision and announcing this decision, the Aquino government has undermined the flight attendants’ impending strike and threat of strike and has therefore seriously impaired their bargaining strength in the mediation talks.
The Aquino government has sent a clear message that it is standing by Lucio Tan’s anti-worker and anti-women policies of banning pregnancy and implementing early retirement among PAL’s flight attendants.
The PAL management is trying to deceive the public in saying that the flight attendants are using “arm-twisting tactics” and that they are the “unreasonable party” in the dispute for refusing to give up their just demand that Lucio Tan’s notorious anti-worker and anti-women policies be scrapped.
The Aquino government’s actions are bad news for PAL’s ground employees who are also planning of going on strike over Lucio Tan’s planned outsourcing of several of PAL’s functions – which will result in the layoff of more than 1,200 employees.
The Aquino government’s moves in relation to the PAL labor dispute only shows that this government, like its predecessor, considers as its “boss” not the Filipino workers and people but foreign monopoly firms and big local capitalists like Lucio Tan. #

#1 Death squads and terrorists
Death squads and terrorists in the Iraq, under whom superiority are they operating ?
At the very earlier time of the invasion of Iraq, the death squads were operating under the su-periority of U.S invaders and groups which were empowered as Coalition Provisional Authority by the U.S invaders. Since then the premeditated massive genocides and assassinations had begun.
The appearance of death squads, when over a 10-day period dozens of bodies were found casually disposed of in rubbish dumps and vacant areas around Baghdad. All of the victims had been handcuffed, blindfolded and shot in the head and many of them also showed signs of having been brutally tortured.
A New Death Squad in Iraq
"All these guys want to do is go out and kill bad guys all day," he says,
laughing. "These guys are shit hot. They are just as good as we are. We trained 'em. They are just like us. They use the same weapons. They walk like Americans." Although the force is officially controlled by the Iraqi government, popular
perception in Baghdad is that the ISOF--the dirty brigade--is a covert,
all-Iraqi branch of the US military.
Bowden says those "local allies" are often used for covert operations. "The
United States Special Operations Command cultivates relationships with special forces in other countries because it gives the United States the opportunity of intervening militarily in a covert way," he says. "The ideal covert op is one that is actually carried out by local forces."
Terrorism is led by CIA agent Allawi !
Ayad Allawi led organization that sent agents into Baghdad in the early 1990's to plant bombs and sabotage government facilities under the direction of the C.I.A., several former intelligence officials say.The bombing and sabotage campaign, the former senior intelligence official said, "was a test more than anything else, to demonstrate capability."Allawi is not believed to have ever spoken in public about the bombing campaign. But one Iraqi National Accord officer did. In 1996, Amneh al-Khadami, who described himself as the chief bomb maker for the Iraqi Na-tional Accord and as being based in Sulaimaniya, in northern Iraq, recorded a videotape in which he talked of the bombing campaign and complained that he was being shortchanged money and supplies. Two former intelligence officers confirmed the existence of the videotape.
