I hope you're available to swing by the Newseum this evening as the National Park Trust honors Senator Martin Heinrich (June 13th at 6:30 PM). As you know, I'm on the NPT board and our mission is very important to me - protecting high priority lands for the National Park Service and creating future park stewards, with a special emphasis on children from under-served communities. Each year we host the Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award event to honor an outstanding elected official and conservationist and celebrate NPT's accomplishments. The invitation is below and attached. The short program will give you a chance to hear about the important and effective projects we have underway and the highlight of the evening is hearing directly from some over the under-served children in our programs. The event includes a reception with the 30-minute formal program starting at 7:00 PM. Best regards, Chuck Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 1 ED_002061_00180418-00001 Sierra Club v.

It achieved high levels of income per capita and was moving away from authoritarian government, towards a true democracy, with a system of checks and balances. Unfortunately, Argentina never finished the transition. The turning point away from the road towards checks and balances occurred in the 1930s. To stay in power in the 1930s, the Conservatives in the Pampas resorted to electoral fraud, which neither the legislative, executive, or judicial branches checked.

  • 16 the Argentinean Shipbuilding Industry
    16 The Argentinean shipbuilding industry Workers’ struggles in a state shipyard Cintia Russo Introduction The aim of this chapter is to analyse the trajectory and survival of one of the oldest and largest ship repair yards in Argentina – Talleres Dársena Norte (also known as TANDANOR, and today known as Complejo industrial naval argentino, CINAR). I will also identify and analyse stages in the history of the Argentine shipbuilding industry (ASI) to provide context to the two Argentinean shipyards studied in this book. In this sense, I highlight the role played in this path by two social actors, the state and trade unions: the former is a key factor in the trajectory of the ASI, and the struggles of the latter have achieved the shipyard’s survival.1 Founded in 1879, TANDANOR was originally established for the maintenance of the Argentinean naval fleet. TANANDOR/CINAR, with a history of more than a century, has acquired, in the past twenty years, a symbolic status as one of the oldest shipyards in Argentina, and the first to be privatised in 1991, then managed by its workers for nearly a decade, and finally renationalised in 2007. TANDANOR is a representative example of the peaks and troughs of the Argentinean economy. 1 The sources used in these pages are: statistics (national, provincial, and chambers of com- merce), institutional documents, and reports and balance sheets of TANDANOR and the trade associations: the Federation of Industry Naval Argentina (FINA), the Association of Buenos Aires shipbuilding (ABIN). For the diagnosis and proposals of the shipbuilding trade unions, I privileged two sources: key informant interviews and the local press.
