 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Times' pro-war propaganda has given way to pro-Nazi apologetics. With the resumption of the strike, the dockworkers face a head on clash with the federal Liberal government, which, with the connivance of the union apparatus, last week sought to break the dockers' strike by invoking a seldom used provision of Canada's pro-employer Labour Code Bolstered by the support of their fellow film, television, music and entertainment workers, striking actors and writers called for an expansion of the struggle in the face of reports that federal mediators with the Biden administration have been working "in the shadows" with the studios for weeks to shut down their powerful strike. The high temperature records currently being set and reset are demonstrative of what is increasingly emerging as a "new normal" for the world's climate. The tragic death toll has caused widespread anger and highlighted the failure of governments to protect people from the extreme weather events fuelled by global warming. Ford workers at the Chicago assembly and stamping plants discussed their contract fight and broader issues, including the threat of war.

Christina Brown, a former Amazon worker, visited a UPS hub with a team of World Socialist Web Site reporters to share the story of how her sister, Poushawn Brown, fell ill and died while working as a COVID-19 tester at a nearby Amazon facility. The USPS' new compensation system has cut pay by tens of thousands of dollars while requiring rural letter carriers to work even longer hours. Strikers who walked out at Ascension hospitals in two states last month were then hit with a three-day lockout by management.
