Dear CONLOG, Chief Executive Officer CONLOG, General Manager Dear CONLOG, Chief Executive Officer CONLOG, General Manager, Dudley Miller MEINECKE, Chief Executive Officer MEINECKE, Managing Director, Basil Bold ATLANTIC METERS, Chief Executive Officer ATLANTIC METERS, Commercial Director, Nigel Ebdon We, the undersigned representatives of organizations and individuals from South Africa and around the world, are calling upon your company to respect the human rights of all people. The right to adequate water is included in various international treaties, including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Water is a human right and not a marketable commodity to which access can be determined by whether or not one can pay. The pre-paid water meters produced by your company are strategically designed to deny water to those who cannot pay. This is an outrage and a transgression of basic human rights! Pre-paid water meters were declared illegal in the United Kingdom (U.K.) under the U.K. Water Act of 1998. They should be illegal in every country. We call upon your company to: 1. Immediately end production of pre-paid water meters; 2. Discontinue all current contracts to produce pre-paid water meters; 3. Refuse all future contracts to produce pre-paid water meters; 4. End all research into new technologies to improve pre-paid water meters. We are aware that governments and private water companies are promoting pre-paid water meters as part of the World Bank strategy to ensure "full cost recovery" and neo-liberal government policies to cut subsidies for basic human services. The public health impact of these policies is devastating. Pre-paid water meters were declared illegal in the U.K. after water cut-offs were linked to increased cases of dysentery and other diseases related to lack of clean water. Authoritative research on the recent cholera outbreak in KwaZulu-Natal province, in South Africa, concluded that its causes were linked to policies of increased cost recovery, the installation of pre-paid meters, and the special vulnerability of people living with HIV to cholera. We call upon your company to exercise social responsibility. Please end production of all pre-paid water meters immediately.

  • Days of Action: Ontario's Extra-Parliamentary Opposition To
    Days of Action: Ontario's extra-parliamentary opposition to the Common Sense Revolution, 1995-1998 By Douglas James Nesbitt A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May, 2018 Copyright ã Douglas James Nesbitt, 2018 Abstract From 1995 to 1998, Ontario was the site of a sustained political and industrial conflict between the provincial government of Premier Mike Harris and a loosely- coordinated protest movement of labour unions, community organizations, and activist groups. The struggle was aimed at the defeating the “Common Sense Revolution,” a sweeping neoliberal program advanced by the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. The program designed to renovate the state, rationalize the social safety net, repeal barriers to capital accumulation, and decisively weaken the strength of organized labour. What became a union-led extra-parliamentary opposition drew in large sections of the population often aligned with a political culture of statist collectivism encompassing both social democracy and “Red Toryism”. The movement emerged at a time when the two major parties aligned with such ideas embraced neoliberal policies. Under the leadership of Mike Harris, the Red Tories were pushed out of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives in the early 1990s. Meanwhile, the one-term New Democratic government of 1990-95 made a decisive turn towards neoliberal austerity amidst a catastrophic recession, declining federal transfers, and employer hostility. Through the union-led “Days of Action” of large political strikes, mass demonstrations, and numerous militant protests, the implementation of the Common Sense Revolution was slowed and weakened and the government’s popularity greatly diminished.
