Seven Straight Nights for Equal Rights
2007-10-08 16:15:00 From now until October 13, 2007, straight people across the nation will "come out" as supporters of equal rights for the gay and lesbian community in America. All across the country straight folks will hold overnight vigils to show support for their gay and lesbian friends and neighbors. This is a chance for heterosexual men and women to show solidarity for the cause of justice for all. There are about 30 vigils planned around the US. To kick off the events yesterday in Atlanta, Isaac Farris Jr. -- nephew of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- addressed the vigil supporters for equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered and questioning (LGBTQ) Americans. Tell your elected officials and local media, “equality is not a gay issue, not an urban elite issue, not an East Coast or a West Coast issue -- it's an American issue.” You can join this movement. Visit http://www.sevenstraightnights.-org/ to find a vigil near you. In Illinois, my home state, Champaign is holding a ...

Equal rights for operating systems? That's just pointless.
2007-06-26 14:44:00 I’m normally on the side of the anticompetition lobby. I like the underdog. I use Mozilla Firefox over IE and Safari. I use Thunderbird over Outlook and Lotus Notes - well actually I don’t use Lotus because it’s pants. I even cannot wait for Songbird to get good to replace iTunes. I was particularly overjoyed when I visited http://ie7.com. But the anticompetition people are now being daft. They are complaining that the BBC’s iPlayer, which enables people to watch TV over the web, is giving MS a serious advantage and therefore should not be allowed. I can see a logic in their argument; people may buy more PCs rather than Apples or Linux based computers if one application is available for Microsoft and not for the others. But, it is a pretty poor logic. This would be true if any company developed software for Windows. And besides, Apple is hardly the purest of pure when it comes to anticompetition, iTunes not accepting the...

TUC union calls for agency workers to have equal rights as permanent staff
2007-05-29 10:00:00 Trade unions have again called for agency workers to have equal rights to permanent employees after a survey revealed widespread dissatisfaction among temporary staff. The YouGov poll of 2,500 agency workers showed that 56% did not have the same holiday rights as permanent staff, and 61% did not have the same sick pay rights. Half of agency workers said they had not had relevant training, while 46% said being a temp made it harder for them to make a complaint at work. Brendan Barber, general secretary of the TUC, which commissioned the report, said it revealed "abuse and bad treatment for a significant proportion of agency workers". He called on the government to guarantee them equal rights to the permanent staff they work alongside. Tony Woodley, joint general secretary of new super-union Unite, backed the call, adding that casual employment was on the increase. However, industry body the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) said introducing equal rights for...
