    Protest Against A Non-decision Of The Administrative Court On The A69 Highway In Toulouse

    Protest Against A Non-decision Of The Administrative Court On The A69 Highway In Toulouse

    The banner reads 'Stop to the A69 and its world, another way is possible'. Between 1,000 and 1,500 people gather in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2024, against a non-administrative court ruling of the Administrative Court against the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The judge decides to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision. Plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 go on 'administrative' trial against the French State along with the builder, NGE, and its concessionary Atosca. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), pleads, among other things, that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. Opponents of this project say that the

                Construction Workers Stage High-Rise Protest Over Wage Cuts And Job Insecurity

                Two senior officials from South Korea's construction workers' union, Kim Sun-jung, vice chief of the Gyeonggi Province Construction Branch, and Moon Seung-jin, director of the Seoul-North Gyeonggi Construction Branch, stage a protest atop a 70-meter-high advertising tower in Yeouido, Seoul, on October 2, 2024. The protest, which continues as of October 21, 2024, aims to oppose wage cuts and growing job insecurity in the construction industry. The protesters demand legislation that ensures priority hiring for domestic workers in an industry increasingly reliant on foreign labor. They also call for the withdrawal of a proposed daily wage cut of 20,000 KRW, arguing that it would further endanger the already unstable livelihoods of workers. This protest follows the breakdown of wage negotiations between construction companies and the union. While employers justify the cuts due to economic pressures, the union contends that such reductions would disproportionately harm workers who already face job instability.
