ere is a need to build that into practical information, advice and guidance for union representatives and negotiators. The report includes examples of where unions are doing this, and puts the case for such efforts to be extended and deepened. The report should be read in the context of many governments failing to properly implement ILO Convention 98 on the right to organise and collective bargaining. That Convention, ratified by 168 countries, requires governments to promote collective bargaining, which is very often not the case. As the ITUC Global Rights Index shows, the fundamental rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining are under attack, either by governments or with their compliance and support."

Grupos que geralmente não são escutados nem contemplados em projetos, mesmo nos movimentos sociais. Nesta 2ª. etapa da pesquisa, acompanhamos lideranças de entidades com representação nacional, ligadas à Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) mas também dedicamos a atenção a ativistas, militantes e lideranças entre a população 60 anos ou mais e a população LGBTQIA+. A escolha ocorreu porque na primeira fase do estudo, em 2021, a população 60 anos ou mais e a população LGBTQIA apareceram como os públicos mais esquecidos na hora de realizar projetos, segundo as respostas das lideranças de movimentos sociais."

It has been argued that gaining access through these local organizations can provide approaches to news reporting that actually help the affected community heal, by portraying survivors as active protagonists to overcoming the death and destruction instead of helpless victims."

ring the twenty-five years from about 1960 to 1985. This unique experience of local media is described through the voices of Latin American communication researchers and political activists. The chapters are selected and translated by Alan O’Connor who published the first scholarly article in English on the Bolivian miners’ radios. This book also gives readers an introduction to the methods and concerns of Latin American communication researchers. This work includes overview written by Bolivian communication researchers who first brought the miners’ radios to the attention of researchers on participatory media. These pioneering articles struggle to fit the unruly miners’ radios into the concepts of debates about global communications. They stress what is unique about the Bolivian experience and the successes, problems and lack of resources of the radio stations. The book also includes moving testimonies by participants in the radio stations. An historic transcript from a live broadcast shows how the radios connect up during times of political crisis in an attempt to organize resistance to a military coup. With the decline of the Bolivian mining industry since 1985 many of the radio stations no longer exist. The book documents attempts to rescue at least some of the stations and continue their work into the present." (Publisher description)

der Volkseinheit in Chile von 1979 bis 1973 wurde Luis Emilio Recabarren zum ersten Mal (posthum) geehrt, indem der Rundfunksender der Dachgewerkschaftseinheitszentrale "Central Unica de Trabajadores" nach ihm benannt wurde. Später versuchte die chilenische Militärdiktatur (1973 bis 1990), seinen Namen und die mit ihm verbundene Geschichte der chilenischen Arbeiterbewegung im ersten Viertel unseres Jahrhunderts für immer auszulöschen. Heute noch, 70 Jahre nach Recabarrens Tod, sind viele Aspekte seines Wirkens unerforscht, obwohl sich Legenden um Recabarren in Chile ranken und diese lebendig und populär geblieben sind. Wer war dieser Mann, der viele Jahre verfolgt wurde, welche Rolle spielte er während der bewegten Jahre der Formierungsphase der chilenischen Arbeiterbewegung, welche sozialen Ideen europäischer Herkunft wurden in der chilenischen Gesellschaft praktisch umgesetzt und welche kulturellen Produkte wurden entwickelt? Die Autorin beantwortet in ihrem Werk den Fragenkatalog umfassend und stellt das Wirken Recabarrens in seinem politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Kontext ausführlich dar."
