 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Holland, Ohio, workers fought a 40-day strike against the world's largest auto battery maker and the treachery of the United Auto Workers bureaucracy. On Tuesday, the notorious war propagandist Michael R. Gordon, who helped launch the Iraq war by claiming Saddam Hussein was using aluminum tubes to build nuclear weapons, claimed, citing anonymous government sources, that world-renowned researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were among the first people to be infected with COVID-19. The principles of "Bidenomics" are virtually identical to Trump's pledge to "Make America Great Again," with two exceptions: Biden ties his program to support for war against Russia as well as China and enlists the support of the trade union bureaucracy to carry it out. The SEP memorial meeting will discuss the significant political lessons from Jerani's decades-long struggle for Trotskyist principles that are vital for the current generation of workers and youths in their fight against capitalism. The prospect of a broader strike terrifies all the official parties involved, including the AMPTP and the various union bureaucracies, as well as Wall Street, the Biden administration and the political establishment as a whole. The situation demands the creation of a genuine rank-and-file movement in the working class, not of groups seeking to pressurise the existing bureaucratic leaderships, tasked with organising an insurgent movement of union members against the bureaucracy. Workers can expect the same merry-go-round of divided strikes, cancelled actions and endless pay offer ballots year after year—getting poorer in real terms all the while—until they begin to take action into their own hands. That the agreement would be unwritten indicates its very limited and fragile nature in a region destabilized by decades of imperialist-stoked conflicts. Increased military-strategic cooperation will be at the centre of Modi's talks with Biden, as will be removing what Washington and Wall Street perceive to be barriers to developing India as a rival global production-chain hub to China. The Albanese government declared that it regarded the Senate vote as a failure to pass the housing bill—effectively threatening to use it as a possible trigger for a double dissolution election of both houses of parliament. "The price of food has increased a lot since last year. It affects our budget. We have a small amount we get from our job. Most of the time we have to go beyond our budget, and it's not good, because we need to save our money." Sixteen-year-old Hamiora Sharland was the fourth person to die in a workplace incident in WA or offshore in just two weeks. Thousands of aviation workers at GE Aerospace and Spirit AeroSystems are voting on contracts this week, amid indications of substantial anger over meagre terms. So far this year, there have been over 100 fires caused by e-bike batteries and 13 deaths in New York City. Her acting was self-critical and unsentimental, driven, director Charles Marowitz said, by a "loathing for lame and easy effects." The recent meeting of the joint rank-and-file action committees focused on why the Verdi union is agreeing to a massive reduction in real wages and how this relates the costs of military rearmament. Slightly lower headline rates, still forecast to be the highest of any leading economy this year, disguise much higher price rises for basic household goods—above all food.
