Thousands of people in multiple demonstrations throughout New York City have protested the appearance of Israeli Prime Minister and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations 79th General Assembly Friday and on previous days this week. New York Police Department (NYPD) cops have provoked, hospitalized and arrested large numbers of people throughout the week. Protests against Netanyahu took place throughout Friday in the face of a massive deployment of police at the United Nations. There were also protests at multiple campuses, including one at Columbia University. On Thursday night cops rushed a march from Grand Central Station to the Loew’s Regency hotel on Park Avenue where Netanyahu was staying in preparation for his speech at the UN and kept up constant provocation by driving into the mass of protesters with mopeds and bicycles.

Buffalo Medical Residents Strike For Fair Pay And Better Conditions

Around 100 picketers stood in front of Buffalo General Hospital on September 4, chanting and talking to reporters under the midday sun. They gripped signs with slogans like “Fair Contract Now” and “United For Our Patients.” Cars honked in support as they passed by, with some drivers thrusting fists into the warm air through their open windows. It was the second day of a four-day strike by University at Buffalo (UB) medical residents over pay, benefits and working conditions. The strike was authorized by a resounding 93 percent vote after more than a year of bargaining attempts. The striking medical residents in Buffalo are part of a rising wave of unionization among medical workers stretching from California to Vermont and spurred by demands for better compensation and working conditions.
