 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Monitor's denial of Lehman's protest exemplifies the fraudulent character of the election and reveals the total contempt with which the UAW, the federal courts, and the Monitor view the democratic rights of the working class. Workers in the America's second-largest district, which serves 420,000 students are demanding improvements on short staffing, high workloads and class sizes and poverty wages, made worse by skyrocketing inflation. Georgia, a tiny nation with a population of just 10.8 million located in the south Caucasus, has long been the object of imperialist meddling, with the US and the EU today seeing it as critical to destabilizing Russia. The WSWS spoke with students protesting Macron's anti-democratic passage of the pension reform at the Tolbiac university campus in central Paris. Such is the fragility of the financial system that the operations of the "free market," through which failed investments are purged, cannot continue to function because any problem threatens to set off a collapse requiring the intervention of the state and its agencies using their capacity to create more money. Montel Mickles says he took an emergency vacation day to visit his sick mother in the hospital. He was fired from Dana, got evicted, and is now fighting for his job back. The intimidation and victimizations of workers at Dana corporation have enraged and encouraged autoworkers at the Detroit Three automakers to respond with support and stories of their own victimizations. Behind the demagogy and bluster, the perspective advanced by the speakers was a thoroughly bankrupt one: placing pressure on the Democratic Party, which is spearheading the war. There is no left-wing or anti-war faction within the Labour Party whatsoever; no one has challenged or will challenge Starmer's "party of NATO". The World Socialist Web Site continues to receive correspondence from postal workers over the back-breaking increases in workloads demanded by Royal Mail and the Communication Workers Union (CWU) enforcing the cost cutting exercise. Postal workers have already voted by 86 percent in favour of strike action, and this must now be enforced. But for this to happen it is necessary to break the role of the Verdi leadership as strikebreakers. Irvo Otieno was killed while being admitted to a hospital when police and hospital staff restrained him on the floor for 12 minutes. The Socialist Equality Party is the only party in the NSW election offering workers an alternative to the ongoing slashing of wages and cuts to health, education and other social services. Washington and Canberra are clearly concerned that New Zealand, a key part of the US-led Five Eyes intelligence network, is not sufficiently aligned with the far-advanced preparations for war against China. The SEP and the IYSSE advance a revolutionary socialist and internationalist program to defeat the threat of dictatorship, and defend social and democratic rights. Since becoming Alberta's premier last fall, Danielle Smith has criminalized basic public health measures, and solidarized herself with anti-vaxxers, "Freedom" Convoy activists and other far-right elements who openly flouted anti-COVID measures. The devastation caused by the Kahramanmaraş earthquake shows the horrific loss of life an earthquake could cause in the Marmara region around Istanbul. The ruling exposes general manager Peter Gelb's complicity in propaganda for the proxy war against Russia. About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
