    Toulouse: Gathering And Hearings At The Administrative Court Against The Planned A69 Highway

    Toulouse: Gathering And Hearings At The Administrative Court Against The Planned A69 Highway

    An opponent holds a cardboard sign with a message. People gather in Toulouse, France, on November 25, 2024, as plaintiffs, including LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, and D'Ingrando, go on an 'administrative' trial against the French State, the builder NGE, and its concessionary Atosca, regarding the planned highway A69. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), argues that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid. The main association, 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free'), wants the construction of the highway to be stopped until all judicial decisions are made. Opponents of this project claim that reprofiling the N126 will suffice for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed.

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

                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.
