 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Biden told reporters in Philadelphia there would be no auto strike revealing his reliance on the UAW bureaucracy to strangle the growing rebellion of autoworkers. After tens of thousands of workers and youth protested this weekend in Niger's capital, Niamey, thousands have encircled the NATO military base in Niamey. The following lecture was delivered by Samuel Tissot, a member of the Parti de l'égalité socialiste (PES), the French section of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI), and Peter Schwarz, a leading member of the Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei (SGP), the German section of the ICFI. It was delivered to the Socialist Equality Party (US) International Summer School, held between July 30 and August 4, 2023. Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the fascistic militia group and protégé of Trump political crony Roger Stone, was previously convicted of six felonies related to the failed coup, including seditious conspiracy. The three-part series expresses frustration as the #MeToo campaign suffered a humiliating and public trainwreck in the case. The most significant attack is on the right to strike. The Bill outlaws the prevention of "the free and uninhibited entering or leaving a workplace" by scabs, as well as occupying "workplace areas or entrances". The courageous strike only took place because the workers in 27 outlets of the giant, highly profitable Metro retail grocery chain overwhelmingly rejected a miserable tentative agreement in late July that had been unanimously recommended by their local union bargaining committee. The mass protests, which erupted outside the country's largely discredited political establishment, have caused increasing dismay and apprehension in the ruling class, which is haunted by the fear of a mass popular uprising akin to that which brought down Sri Lanka's government last year. "All these workers are being punished for undertaking legitimate and justified strike action in defence of their jobs, working conditions, wages, and in opposition to the victimisation of their comrades by management." US diplomatic initiatives were characterised as "old wine in new bottles." "By effectively banning the IYSSE, management is attempting to prevent students and youth from accessing a genuine revolutionary socialist program and anti-war perspective." The flight attendants have been kept on the job since 2019 without a contract by the APFA bureaucracy. An increasing number of major corporations are demanding that workers who were allowed to work remotely in the early stages of the pandemic now must return to the office in person at least part time. The student workers are demanding a stipend, but the union is ceding the initiative to the university's administration. Abonesh Woldegeorges was found unresponsive after being held in jail for two weeks, unable to afford the $500 bail. The United Steelworkers is allowing the financial pressure on the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital nurses to grow and has made no move to expand the strike.
