...Switzerland to offer the sort of international service that Rail4Chem has been fighting to provide. Meanwhile, Raith has no choice but to buy electricity from DB's energy division, which sells it to him at 37% more than DB pays. Raith and others have complained to the nation's cartel office. Following the tracks laid down by pioneers like Rail4Chem, more than 20 such private operators now run freight services - and some local passenger trains - in Germany, and other companies have sprung up to provide them with services. Included is a company based in Mannheim called MEV which rents...
...postwar oil industry will function, oil producers were jostling to protect hard - won market share in advance of a resumption of exports from Iraq. OPEC nations, in a meeting in Vienna, agreed to a slight drop in output to try to support prices in the short term, although the cartel also announced an increase in official production targets. And in Russia, the world's second - largest oil exporter, the energy industry received a boost when companies Yukos and Sibneft said they had agreed in principle to a merger that would create the world's fourth - largest oil and gas producer...

Giving GESO collective bargaining rights through formal recognition will allow a small cartel of graduate students to further their coercive tactics to increase their membership, telling non-organized TAs to join or lose out on benefits. The members of Locals 34 and 35 deserve more respect, but putting themselves in cahoots with the GESO transforms labor’s demands into a parody...
...markings of I.R.A. and ETA tutelage. They point in particular to the sophisticated remote-control detonation of the car bomb. Colombia suffered a horrific rash of urban bombings just over a decade ago, when the drug lord Pablo Escobar lashed out at government efforts to rein in his cocaine cartel. The FARC is similarly piqued by Uribe's counterinsurgency efforts and recent U.S. aid increases for Colombia's weak but improving military. Last Friday, at least 16 people were killed in an explosion during a police raid in the southern city of Neiva that authorities attributed to the guerrillas. Uribe...
