 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. With the full support of the imperialist powers, Israel is depopulating Gaza through the combination of mass expulsion, massacres and starvation. The UAW's national vote total includes 1,263 workers at the Ultium Cells electric vehicle battery plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and about 1,000 workers at GM Subsystems LLC, workers who were not yet part of the GM bargaining unit when they voted. Anthony S. "Tony" LeCleir, 55 of Davenport, Iowa, tragically died on November 7 as a result of injuries sustained in a workplace accident on October 20. Amid a heavy police presence, rally participants wore black shirts that read, "Not in our name" in the front and "Jews say ceasefire now" on the back. In her resignation letter, Anne Boyer wrote: "No more ghoulish euphemisms. No more verbally sanitized hellscapes. No more warmongering lies." Socialist Equality Party National Secretary Chris Marsden has written to Police Commissioner Mark Rowley protesting unlawful obstruction by the London Metropolitan Police of the party's public meeting, "Stop Israel's genocide against Gaza!" "Netanyahu and his fascist allies have used the Al Aqsa flood as a casus belli, an excuse to enact a pre-planned campaign to ethnically cleanse Gaza and permanently annexe it." The Biden administration's investigations follow the month-long campaign to smear the growing opposition to the war crimes of the US and Israel as "antisemitic." Those expressing public solidarity with the beleaguered Palestinians have been targeted, sometimes successfully, for disciplinary action, up to and including termination from their jobs. While Trump is using his Republican reelection campaign to elaborate plans for an unprecedented attack on migrant workers, the Democrats and Biden are carrying out their own anti-immigrant policies. The Federal Constitutional Court's ruling on the government's Climate Change Fund is not a legal, but a political decision. It reduces the previously agreed budget by €60 billion in one fell swoop and is a signal for further cuts. Both candidates would lead far-right administrations committed to further cutting real wages, social spending, and corporate taxes, subordination to US imperialism and increasingly open forms of dictatorial rule. The government's 2024 budget is designed to fulfill the drastic austerity demands of the International Monetary Fund. By upholding the authority of the union bureaucracy, TDU and groups like it are playing a central role in maintaining the stability not just of the apparatus but of US imperialism. The ruling establishment, currently led by the Labor Party, is ripping aside fundamental democratic rights, flouting even the extremely limited protections of basic legal rights in Australia's 1901 Constitution. The PWRFC condemns the leadership of the Communication Workers Union, which has remained silent throughout Israel's onslaught against Gaza. Montefiore Medical Center canceled Dr. Ghazal Moayedi's presentation about abortion as a human right when administrators discovered that she had called for a ceasefire in Gaza on Instagram. Two men were executed in the US on November 16, one each in Alabama and Texas. The Alabama governor has also scheduled a 2024 execution date for another death row inmate by nitrogen asphyxiation, which would mark the first attempt by a state to use this method in a state killing. The strike by train drivers in the GDL union has once again shown the power that rail workers and the working class as a whole can wield. It makes clear what a united struggle by all railway workers could achieve. India: Andhra Pradesh contract tourist workers strike for permanent jobs; Sri Lankan public health inspectors boycott dengue control activities; Australia: Maritime workers continue industrial action at DP World. The UCU bureaucracy's feigned outrage over anti-democratic legislation the trade unions have never challenged as a cover shutting down strikes it opposed from the very start.
