i don't know a lot about this, but i've met one of these Portuguese guys, and he seems pretty cool. he isn't an anarchist, but more of a generic revolutionary socialist with an anti-authoritarian outlook. he is part of this group interested in forming a Portuguese IWW. he calls them a 'collective', but i have a feeling he actually means 'network' because they're not a formal group, from what he was implying. a good number are in the education sector.
at the moment, the core group is fairly small, which is pretty much what you'd expect when things are just beginning. i don't know how it'll pan out, but at the moment it looks fairly positive.
Anyone know more about who these people are, where they work, how many, what their politics are?
"ISC delegate Carlos Guarita, a member of the Dorset General Membership Branch (UK) travelled to Portugal in June and returned in July to meet with independent workers' organizations in Portugal, including a group of workers who have expressed interest in forming a Portuguese IWW regional organizing committee (ROC). Prospects for a new Portugal ROC are now high. Look for updates in future issues of the Industrial Worker and the ISC Bulletin."
