The UK-based journal "New Internationalist" has devoted its monthly issue to "A migrants nurse's story". It approaches the subject by telling the story of one individual, Nancy Wambui Itotia, a migrant nurse working in Britain. "Instead of simply looking at the ‘pull’ factors which have brought her to work in Europe, it examines more closely the ‘push’ factors which have caused her to leave Africa." http://www.newint.org/issue379/contents.htm

There is uproar among the precarious workers in Turkey. Precarious workers are now practicing some spontaneous actions of struggle, partly isolated from each other. Activists who try to contribute to these struggles and who have some contacts are in search of ways of combining these experiments actions into a united and common melting pot. There is a favorable base in Turkey for uniting the precarious workers who struggle or want to struggle for their basic needs; for achieving common goals; for defining the problem of precarity as a general problem of the society; and for complementing these efforts with the struggle for basic rights and freedoms at regional and national scales.
