By far the fastest increase in spending was among the United States' allies in Europe. At the centre of two world wars, the continent is once again being turned into an armed camp. German imperialism, which already sought to annex Ukraine and subjugate Russia during the First and Second World Wars, is playing an increasingly central role in NATO's escalation of the war. The entire corrupt pseudo-left political milieu in Spain and beyond has lied to the public and hidden from workers the imminent danger of all-out NATO-Russia war. Fightback's injunction workers confine themselves to a militant "collective bargaining" struggle—and leave the politics to the right-wing, Liberal government-allied trade union and NDP leaders—is a recipe for defeat. Royal Mail workers in England, Scotland and Wales are continuing to send their views on the brutal work regime agreed between company executives and the CWU bureaucracy. Unite insisted its members vote on a de facto pay cut. A lump sum payment was thrown in by the company to help Unite ram the deal through. Less than three weeks before the Turkish elections, the Erdoğan government launched a police raid on Kurdish politicians, journalists, lawyers and artists, as it emerged that Ukraine planned to attack Russian forces through Kurdish militias in Syria. What is most striking about the Voice design report is its thoroughly anti-democratic character, explicitly rejecting the very idea of elections to the four-year posts on the Voice.

The company regularly forces drivers to deliver as many as 400 packages in a typical shift, which can run over 10 hours a day. As teachers across the country are fighting back against deteriorating conditions in public schools, the union's are seeking to channel discontent into dead end appeals to the same politicians cutting school budgets. The potential for expanding the U-M strike and defeating the university's strikebreaking efforts was demonstrated Monday when faculty members issued an online open letter denouncing the U-M administration's tactics and supporting the strikers' demand for a living wage.
