LIBYA MOVES FROM DICTATORIAL PATRONAGE TO DEMOCRACY!

This will not be a smooth process for the new Libya. After forty years of dictatorship, without any form of political opposition or dissent allowed, or any formal governmental infrastructure that is not Gaddafi family oriented or managed.

What has to be done nationally is to allow the Interim Administration to set the ground rules and platform for a new collective representative platform of representatives, who truly reflect the various regions of the country, to prepare themselves for the National Election to Public Office.

This is not going to be an easy task, because the military defectors and general civilian revolutionaries, most of whom have shed blood, life, and limbs in the ousting of the Gaddafi Regime. Now wants to play a part in the new political administration nationally. This new awareness and voluntary involvement in the National Politics of Libya, will have to be seriously considered, and catered to.

Also any established military personnel should never be allowed to run for Political Office or Political Representation. Less we have a return to some form of military rule or dictatorship, hitherto experienced in Libya.

The Significance Of Labor Day Celebrations!

In most countries where there is a vibrant Labor Movement, Labor Day is celebrated for reasons like the following.

* Trade Unions historically are the representatives of workers and worker's rights in the work place.

* Trade Unions are supposed to be allowed to recruit members (without coercion or threats), in any work environment where there is more that twenty five members employed.

* Trade Unions are allowed on most societies where there is freedom to petition the government, and your employer for better wages, working conditions, disability benefits, health insurance, and the right to strike.

The Trade Union Movement In The USA:

Today, most trade unions that are still around here struggle to maintain their membership rolls, or to recruit new members, because most employers use every means necessary to prevent voluntary membership in the Unions that are operating in that work place.

Trade Unions generally are supportive of Democratic principles of government, and worker participation in the decisions in the work place, at all levels.

This attitude and desire often encounters serious bottlenecks and resentment from employers, who feel they are not supposed to listen to, or allow workers to tell them how to manage their businesses.

The Internationale:

This song is sung by Trade Union Movements/Worker's Organizations globally on Labor Day. It was first introduced in the former Soviet Union during the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution therein.

It also highlights the 1905, the Bloody Sunday massacremassacre of hundreds of demonstrators in St. Petersburg Square, renamed Leningrad, whom were murdered by the Czarist Palace Guards during the national insurrections prior to the fall of the Czar, and Czarist rule in Russia.
