Shell produces 1% of global emissions, all by itself. Activist shareholders at Exxon have gotten four environmentally-minded board members elected. Chevron shareholder forced the board to watch a video calling them out for their climate inaction. Exploding coal plants! The Callide C coal power plant exploded! People with solar power and batteries didn't even notice. The power plant was overhauled in 2019 (for $60 million) and 2017 ($50 million). Matt Canavan, said “this is good actually”.

Since late last year, Iran has witnessed a wave of strikes and demonstrations on a scale unprecedented since the revolutionary days of the late 1970s. While the Iranian government likes to portray these protests as imperialist plots from the USA and Israel to overthrow the Iranian government, the reality is that the causes of these protests are to be found in workers' anger at corruption, exploitation, repression and poverty. We speak to Bahman Yusufi, an Iranian independent labour activist, who gives some background to these protests and how workers are able to organise in an environment where independent unions are effectively repressed and non-existent. Next week is a special 3CR Radiothon program.Asia Pacific Currents provides updates of labour struggles and campaigns from the Asia Pacific region.
