Union bureaucracy sabotages the Kaiser Permanente strike
 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The shutdown of the strike, without prior notice, a contract or even a tentative agreement, underscores the need for a workers' rebellion against the union bureaucracy. Hundreds of people in Romulus and Southfield, Michigan, protested Monday evening against plans to expand ICE operations across the Detroit metro area. Five minors held more than 72 hours after being assaulted by police at an anti-ICE rally now face felony charges while the police chief seen choking a student remains uncharged. More than anyone else, Mandelson epitomised the New Labour agenda of serving every requirement of the money-mad banks and corporations. The Trump administration has given Anthropic an ultimatum to remove AI safety restrictions on its Claude model or face blacklisting and compulsion under the Defense Production Act, while simultaneously signing a deal to deploy Elon Musk's fascist Grok AI on classified military networks. The miners have halted production to demand payment of unpaid wages, enforcement of promotion rights, retroactive contract benefits, guaranteed seniority and severance protections, and genuine health and safety measures. Duvall began acting in the theater in the 1950s, pursued a career in television in the 1960s and achieved his greatest prominence in films in the 1970s and beyond. A Cuban worker and single mother in Matanzas describes blackouts of up to 30 hours, children going to bed hungry and an atmosphere of fear under Trump's genocidal embargo. The refusal to repatriate women and children—all Australian citizens—trapped in Syrian concentration camps constitutes a historic assault on the core democratic right of citizenship, without which no other political or civil rights can effectively be exercised. The expanding contracts with universities feed into the next phase of the AUKUS military pact between the US, UK and Australia, targeting China. Kristalina Georgieva's visit was to ensure that Sri Lanka will continue to implement the IMF's harsh austerity policies that protect the profits of big business while heaping more burdens on workers and the poor. The Health Workers' Action Committee of Sri Lanka held a February 20 online meeting to defend the island nation's free public health system. Measles cases in the United States have already exceeded 1,000 in 2026, increasing at a far faster pace than last year, which marked a three-decade high. The outbreak exposes the deadly consequences of the Trump-Kennedy effort to destroy public health institutions. Postal workers at the Keighley delivery office in West Yorkshire spoke out against intolerable working conditions, mail backlogs and the collusion of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) leadership in enforcing Royal Mail's restructuring agenda.
