 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The United States used Tuesday's meeting of the United Nations General assembly as a platform to launch a full-throated tirade against Russia, of the kind made by countries before they declare war. The strike by 200 parts workers in Alabama shows the rank-and-file movement has tremendous potential power, but everything is being done by the corporations, the political parties and the UAW bureaucracy to hold the rank-and-file back. The agreement is manifestly a sellout, aimed at blocking the development of a united struggle of the more than 19,000 Detroit Three workers in Canada and their 150,000 US counterparts. The Autoworkers Rank-and-File Committee Network calls for workers at every factory to organize now to fight for an all-out strike. At each UAW local, meetings must be held involving the entire rank-and-file membership to discuss and vote on resolutions demanding all-out strike action. Autoworkers in Michigan are demanding an all-out strike and an end to the phony "stand up" strike by the UAW bureaucracy. "Developments in the US with UAW bureaucracy shows that irrespective of where they live workers face the same situation." – Renault-Nissan worker The UAW bureaucracy efforts to prevent a strike at Columbia or Mount Sinai go hand in hand with its effort to prevent an all-out autoworkers strike. The fact that all factions of the ruling class advocate terror against refugees underlines that workers and youth are confronted with revolutionary tasks. Legal and democratic rights must be defended to put an end to the situation where public figures can be torn down on the basis purely of allegations. While Republicans screamed and yelled about Hunter Biden, Democrats barely mentioned the far greater crimes of Donald Trump. Steven Sund's testimony before Congress confirms that the Democrats are covering up the complicity of military brass and police and intelligence officials in Trump's fascist assault on the Capitol to overturn the 2020 election. The auto companies view the conclusion of an agreement at Hyundai, South Korea's largest car manufacturer, as an important step to isolating and imposing similar deals on other sections of workers. The overwhelming vote to continue the strike in New Brunswick, New Jersey, shows the nurses' will to win, but victory will require the nurses to link up with workers at Kaiser Permanente, the auto companies and elsewhere. Over the past week, Las Vegas students and parents have been organizing walkouts and rallies in support of teachers at the Clark County School District (CCSD), the fifth-largest school district in the US with over 300,000 students and 18,000 teachers. The findings of the Workers Inquiry which we are posting for the first time have a direct bearing on the issues raised by the Voice referendum that seeks to strengthen the capitalist state and obscure the ruling-class agenda of war and austerity. The televised leaders' debate underscores that both the incumbent Labour Party and the opposition National Party are committed to strengthening New Zealand's role in the US-led war drive against China and Russia, while slashing spending on public services amid the worsening cost-of-living crisis. The Fed wants the unemployment rate to rise, with projections by members of the FOMC—the so-called dot plot—putting the jobless rate at 4.1 percent next year, up from its present level of 3.8 percent. A flagrant example of censorship occurred last month, when objections from police officers led to the abrupt closure of all art exhibitions at municipal galleries in San Mateo, California.
