 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The November 10 online meeting hosted by the Socialist Equality Party analyzed the causes and consequences of the Trump victory and elaborated a political strategy for the working class to fight back. The latest United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP29, opened Monday in Baku, Azerbaijan. It is the third year in a row that the ostensibly highest political meeting to fight climate change is being held in a country that has non-renewable fossil fuels as its main export. Israel intensified its murderous assault on civilians across Gaza and carried out air strikes on Lebanon over the weekend. Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said the election of Donald Trump means it is time for the Zionist annexation of the West Bank. The initial appointments show the fascistic and militaristic character of the incoming Republican administration. The employers on both coasts have crippled Canada's largest port operations with the aim of compelling the Trudeau Liberal government to intervene to enforce pro-company contracts through binding arbitration or other anti-democratic means. After nearly two months on the picket line, the walkout by 525 Eaton Aerospace workers in Jackson, Michigan is in danger of defeat unless rank-and-file autoworkers break the isolation of the struggle by the UAW bureaucracy. Trump's threat that the US could end support for NATO unless the European powers significantly up their budgets for military spending, his declaration that he intends to end the "loser" war in Ukraine, and threats to increase tariffs on all goods being imported into the US have sent a shudder through Britan's ruling elite. The policy is an attack on students and graduates, who will be made to pay for the economic crisis through fee hikes. The subject of long-distance war crimes makes this an opera of vital importance. The auto workers' union in South Korea is attempting to prevent a broader struggle against job cuts as the car industry around the world prepares a jobs bloodbath as part of the so-called "just transition" to electric vehicles. Teachers' strikes have begun in three districts on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Strikes began Friday, November 8, by about 800 educators in Beverly and 1,000 in Gloucester. Five hundred Marblehead teachers are set to strike beginning Tuesday, November 12. The strike in Australia's most populous state shows that nurses want to fight cuts to their wages and conditions. But they are in a struggle against the Labor government and the union bureaucracy. The strike by 2,400 Kaiser Permanente workers in Southern California has entered its fourth week. As part of the global assault on jobs, 1,800 workers at PPG Industries throughout the United States and Europe will lose their jobs in the coming months. In addition, the company is selling off many of its paint manufacturing plants threatening the jobs of over 6,000 other workers. No cargo is moving at Canada's three largest ports following a series of employer lockouts, while military police in São Paulo last week attacked students and educators opposing privatization.
