 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The three-day strike by 65,000 public school workers and teachers in Los Angeles, the largest strike in the US since 2019, is the latest manifestation of the growing wave of international working class struggles. In public statements before today's one-day national protest strike, Macron claimed that the population does not have the legitimacy to challenge his government. Macron is requisitioning refinery workers and sending police to assault their picket lines in an attempt to break the strike. China and Russia have been driven together, despite longstanding disputes and disagreements, by necessity out of weakness, not great strength, to push back against escalating US aggression and provocations. During Biden's two-day visit, he and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will discuss a host of geostrategic issues, including: the NATO-instigated war with Russia over Ukraine; countering China from the Indo-Pacific to the Arctic; NORAD modernization; securing strategic minerals; and "friendshoring" production chains. In his opening remarks a press conference following the meeting, Fed chair Jerome Powell said the events of the past two weeks had demonstrated, as history had shown, that "isolated banking problems if left unaddressed, can undermine confidence in healthy banks" and threaten the entire system. Only the SEP has advanced a socialist program to reorganise society to meet the pressing social needs of the vast majority, not the private profits of the super-rich. "Truth Not War" organisers express the sentiments of that wing of Australia's ruling elite that has tactical differences with AUKUS and its submarine program and want a more effective and "independent" Australian imperialism. Unable to continue slaving away for poverty wages in one of the most expensive cities in the world, thousands of education workers, including janitors, cafeteria workers, maintenance staff and teachers continued to publicly demonstrate on Wednesday. The document outlines the strategy the frontrunner for UAW president plans to use to impose management's dictates on 150,000 GM, Ford and Stellantis workers. The Socialist Equality Party (UK) and the World Socialist Web Site will be hosting an online meeting of rank-and-file postal workers next Monday, March 27, at 7pm to discuss taking forward the fight against attacks on living standards and working conditions, and the victimisation of their colleagues. The World Socialist Web Site is publishing correspondence from UK postal workers, angry over the endless drive to ratchet up exploitation by Royal Mail. The struggles in France, Britain, Greece and here in Germany must be linked to the fight against war and its cause, capitalism. No social problem can be solved without breaking the power of the financial oligarchy. The total number of successful prosecutions could well reach two thousand, but no charges have yet been brought against Trump or his top aides and accomplices in the coup attempt. The issue is not whether the serial liar Johnson misled the house, inadvertently or otherwise. Johnson, the entire government and the main opposition parties lied to the British working class as they took decisions that resulted in the deaths of more than 208,000 people from COVID. Wickremesinghe's cancellation of local government elections is in line with his essential services strike bans and mobilisation of the police and military against protesting workers and students. The film deserves at least a brief comment, as it purports both to be an account of the transition from cinema's silent era to sound film and to expose "the real truth" about Hollywood. If he is found guilty, Enis Jevric's conviction would be only the second time that a Washington D.C. police officer has been found guilty of murder.
