Time Warner Cable: Anti-Union
By Anonymous Indymedia User on 08 May 2013I don't like corporate monopolies but I needed to pay the rent, so I got a job at Time Warner Cable in the fall of 2012. My job title was Technical Support Representative. To a lesser degree, I was happy to be working for the company that produces Real Time with Bill Maher. Insight Cable Company was recently bought up by Time Warner Cable.
Human Trafficking - Everyone Can Help
By Anonymous Indymedia User on 22 Apr 2013For some years now, I have been listening to radio interviews with Jim Rothstein, retired NYPD detective, now living in Minnesota. Jim has been describing his lifetime work, both as a police officer and retiree, trying to serve and protect victims of human trafficking, particularly child sex trafficking. He has now developed a way all of us can help.
In December 2012, Jim described, on the radio, a project he has had some success with in the St. Cloud, Minnesota area. His idea is to gather (primarily) mothers, and visit officials who have the authority to either pursue trafficking cases, or, all too often, to order officers or district/crown attorneys OFF trafficking cases.
This group is named "Mothers Against Trafficking."

Isle of Man Enacts Legislation to Outlaw Vulture Funds
By Anonymous Indymedia User on 12 Dec 2012This week, the Isle of Man passed legislation that would prevent vulture funds from exploiting the debts of some of the world’s poorest countries.
The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (Limitation on Debt Recovery) Act 2012 outlaws a practice that undermines international debt relief efforts. The legislation prevents vulture funds from buying up poor nations’ debts for a fraction of their original amount and then using the courts to sue for the full value, plus interest and penalty charges. In some cases, vulture funds have made a 400% profit.
