From World Socialist Web Site (http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/jan2008/guar-j09.shtml), a telling example of what 'the real world' means when invoked by government, unions and sympathetic media.  The story of a group of women care-workers employed by Cleveland and Redcar council who were forced to turn to 'no win no fee' lawyers after to obtain back-pay withheld through a council-Unison stitch-up.  Guess whose side the 'Guardian' was on...

Laura Sullivan spoke to Selma James and Nina Lopez of WFH and GWS

Recomposing the University -
By Tiziana Terranova & Marc Bousquet
July 2004

Far removed from the clichéd image of the ‘ivory tower’, today’s universities have been opened to the harsh realities of neoliberal economics. In the name of democratisation and equality, the university has become a cross between a supermarket and a factory whose consumers are also its hyper-exploited labour force.
