BreakingNews @en di

The SEIU, the second largest union in the United States, has announced a strong  spending cut . Fear of the SEIU leadership is the possibility that the Congress and half of the national governments in the hands of the Republicans, supported by the Presidency of Trump, initiate a massive campaign of privatization. This would mean that independently of the trade unions many workers would lose their jobs and would  touch the unions, including SEIU,for help them. In addition the unions would also have to fight to defend the minimum wage law, raised up to $ 15 for hour thanks to the work of all the trade unions, led by the SEIU, and to try to survive as much as possible of the Obamacare.

3 months to rout Islamic State

BreakingNews @en/Middle East - Africa di

The Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi have said on Tuesday it would take three more months to rout Islamic State, as U.S.-backed forces battle to dislodge the militants from the stronghold of Mosul.“The Americans were very pessimistic. They used to talk about a really long period but the remarkable successes achieved by our brave and heroic fighters reduced that. I foresee that in Iraq it will take three months.” More than two months into the operation, elite Iraqi soldiers have retaken a quarter of Mosul. Besides Mosul, Islamic State still controls the towns of Tel Afar and Qaim as well as Hawija and the surrounding area. The fall of Mosul would probably end Islamic State’s ambition for a self-styled caliphate, but the fighters could still mount a more traditional insurgency in Iraq, and plot or inspire attacks on the West.

The situation is complicated “Now, Russia and China have clearly been Iran’s allies throughout this whole process or procedure and on the other hand we have these two nations of Britain and France who have been playing a very corrosive role in the Middle East and their ships always sail in the same direction as Washington.”
