DESCRIPTION: Guillermo Kane, reporting from Buenos Aires  \n\nIn Argentina, the 
 struggles of working people have expanded in recent months leading to a 
 deepening polarization in the country. Large mobilizations of unemployed 
 and underemployed workers have staged mass occupations in Buenos Aires. 
 Strikes have been more frequent. Argentina's Single Union of Argentine Tire 
 Workers (SUTNA) struck for 5 months and recently forced the tire companies 
 to increase wages with every increase in the country’s 
 inflation.\nAccording to the mainstream paper, La Gaceta, this year 
 Argentina has experienced more than 7,168 pickets and strikes. La Nación, 
 the country’s largest newspaper predicts more than 10,000 pickets and 
 strikes in total for the year. These developments are rooted in a strong 
 tradition from the ‘90s, which saw many working-class initiatives, such 
 as occupying factories and mobilizing mass protests.\n\nPlease join with 
 the Boston May Day Coalition to hear Guillermo Kane report from Buenos 
 Aires on the battles unfolding in Argentina and the prospects for 
 socialism.\n\nGuillermo Kane is an elected socialist state representative 
 from the Workers Party-Left Front Unity in the provincial Buenos Aires 
 regional parliament in Argentina.\n\nIn his youth, he participated as an 
 organizer of the unemployed, community mess halls, and organizer of the 
 National Striker Assemblies of La Matanza district in 2001, as well as the 
 National Assembly of Workers in the years 2002 and 2005 from the National 
 Piquetero Bloc. He also was a militant of the Socialist Union Youth and the 
 Organization of High School Students. \nHe is currently an adjunct 
 professor at the University of Buenos Aires. \n
