Cinemas, unions sound alarms over Netflix deal
For Netflix, having films launch on its platform allows the company to attract new users, as well as keep existing customers engaged.
But that stance has led to a testy relationship between Netflix and some exhibitors, which have pushed in general for more films to be released on the big screen.
Theater owner trade group Cinema United has voiced staunch opposition to the deal, saying it represented an “unprecedented threat to…

Anarcho-syndicalist trade unions are reconceived not just as bargaining bodies but as the basic cells of a future socialist society, simultaneously fighting capitalism now and learning to administer production democratically.

I consider myself an anarcho‑syndicalist, and to stay true to that, I must be honest with myself and with others. I reject political parties and reformist trade unions because I believe real emancipation cannot come from institutions built on hierarchy or compromise. When someone joins a union that ties itself to a political party or to representative institutions, I no longer feel that we share the same basic ground. For me, any step into party politics, parliamentary games, or electoral st…

In my view, those involved in reformist or traditional trade unions might consider that genuine worker self-managment comes through syndicalist structures.
Unions rooted in the workplace, organized through general assemblies, with delegates who are strictly mandated and immediately recallable, without any permanent bureaucracy, embody the principles of direct democracy and worker self-management.
Any organization claiming to be syndicalist while maintaining hierarchical decisio…

Syndicalist unions are fundamentally different from the bureaucratic trade unions that dominate today. Modern unions function as institutional frameworks that negotiate within capitalism, often acting to preserve the system rather than challenge it. They centralize power in hierarchical leadership, limit direct worker control, and prioritize legal contracts and state approval over genuine worker autonomy.
Syndicalism rejects this institutionalized framework. It refuses collective barga…

Just had a visit from Fellesforbundet at the workplace. To be honest, we get a lot of visits from Fellesforbundet since they are located in a building right across the street from my well-adapted industrial company.
Fellesforbundet is a reformist, bureaucratic union affiliated with the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO). It is not syndicalist and operates with a hierarchical structure, including elected leadership and regional divisions.
The union primarily negotiates…

The poster promotes the Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund (NSF), the Norwegian Syndicalist Federation affiliated with the International Workers' Association (IAA). It features a black-and-white photo of a large group of people, likely members of the organization.

The text "Anarkosyndikalismen i Norge!" ("Anarchosyndicalism in Norway!") is prominently displayed, emphasizing the group's focus on anarcho-syndicalist activism. Contact details for the NSF-IAA appear at the bottom of the poster.
