A Strategy To Stop The Flow Of Our Money To Billionaires

October 17, 2025 Sare Myklebust and Saqib Bhatti, In These Times. Strategize! Class Struggle, Labor Movement, Mass Movement, Movements, Unions

In the United States, we are living through a time of crisis. We’re witnessing a U.S.-backed genocide as Palestinian children are being starved. Our government is disappearing immigrants and U.S. citizens alike because of the color of their skin and their willingness to speak truth to power. Millions lack basic healthcare, companies are kicking families out of their homes and most of us are paid barely enough to survive. We’re living on the edge, terrified and traumatized. Meanwhile, the perpetrators of this unbearable status quo — billionaires, their companies and the government structures they now control — are using our money to fund these injustices while building their fortunes.

Freedoms We Took For Granted In Britain

October 15, 2025 Jonathan Cook, Consortium News. Strategize! Gaza, Israel, Palestine Action, Repression, State Repression, United Kingdom (UK)

In interviews and a comment article over the weekend, the U.K. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson made clear she plans to exploit the pause in the Gaza genocide to snuff out criticism of Israel’s criminal actions — and, of course, her own government’s collusion in that criminality. Naturally, the British establishment media have been keen to amplify her message that there will be painful consequences both for individuals who continue protesting against Israeli atrocities and for institutions, such as universities, that mistakenly assume they have a duty to uphold centuries-old freedoms by tolerating such protests. These protests, let us remember, are fully in line with a ruling last year from the International Court of Justice, the world’s highest court.

Our Siemens Union Drive Lost

October 15, 2025 Kyle Loewen, Labor Notes. Strategize! Siemens, union busting, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Workers at the Siemens Mobility manufacturing plant in Sacramento, where I worked, lost a unionization election in March, 838 to 538. While the result was disappointing, the joint campaign by Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1245 and the Boilermakers represents the kind of organizing that the labor movement should double down on to reverse the tide of declining density in the private sector. Since 2019, elections covering units of more than 1,000 workers have accounted for less than 1 percent of those carried out through the National Labor Relations Board, and most of these have been in health care and higher education.

What Can We Learn From Mexico’s Nonviolent Revolution Of Consciences?

October 14, 2025 Erik Olson Fernández, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! History, Martin Luther King Jr, Mexico, MORENA

Quietly, Martin Luther King Jr.’s commitment to Gandhian nonviolence, his effort to end poverty, and his push for a “radical revolution of values…from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society” crossed the U.S. border despite the walls. While the U.S. is mired in deep democratic decay, division and chaos, the Mexican people have given King’s ideas and actions new life south of the border. What can we learn from this grassroots democratization movement that from 2018-2024 lifted 13.4 million people out of poverty and significantly reduced inequality despite the challenging pandemic years? Dr. King’s last book asked, “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?”

The Privatization Crisis At Canada Post

October 14, 2025 André Frappier, Canadian Dimension. Strategize! Canada, Journalism, Postal Service, Privatization

In 2001, Canada Post invested $1 million to acquire a 50 percent ownership stake in Intelcom, then operating as Intelcom Express, a package delivery company. The purchase quickly stirred controversy because of Intelcom’s connections to the Liberal Party of Canada, prompting critics to question whether the Crown corporation’s decision-making had been influenced by political favouritism. In response, Intelcom bought back its shares from Canada Post six years later, in 2007. At the time, Intelcom was a major Liberal donor. Its founder and CEO, Daniel Hudon, was both a fundraiser and a former member of the finance committee of the Québec wing of the Liberal Party.

New England Unions Lead The Way On Offshore Wind

October 13, 2025 Paul Prescod, Portside. Strategize! Clean Energy, Green Economy, Trump Administration, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

At a panel during the recent Climate Week in New York City, Rhode Island AFL-CIO President Patrick Crowley delivered some much-needed good news. He announced that building trades unions in Rhode Island and Massachusetts signed a Labor Peace Agreement with SouthCoast Wind to ensure union work on its massive planned offshore wind project. The scale of the project and the potential for job creation are significant. For comparison, Rhode Island’s 704-megawatt Revolution Wind project, which the Trump administration unsuccessfully tried to block, employed close to a thousand union members in its construction. At 2.4 gigawatts (GW) of energy, SouthCoast Wind will need even more workers.

Iced Out

October 12, 2025 Anna Lekas Miller, Progressive.org. Strategize! Alligator Alcatraz, Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Immigrant Solidarity, Immigration

An Indigenous nation of fewer than 1,000 people in South Florida, the Miccosukee Tribe doesn’t often get involved in local politics. But then private contractors showed up to an abandoned airport and started erecting a detention center in the middle of the Everglades. The Miccosukee leapt into action, realizing that the behemoth structure would drastically change the fragile wetlands that they call home. It didn’t take long for the so-called Alligator Alcatraz to also develop a reputation for egregious human rights abuses. Billed as an immigration detention center for the “most dangerous criminals,” reports started quickly circulating that detainees were experiencing medical neglect and didn’t have access to basic hygiene.

Attacks On US Labor Rights Should Be An International Scandal

October 11, 2025 Benjamin Dictor, Labor Notes. Strategize! ILO, International Solidarity, Labor Movement, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Trump Administration, Worker Rights and Jobs

The National Labor Relations Board, the only federal agency charged with enforcing private-sector workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively, is facing a constitutional crisis. On August 19, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the structure protecting NLRB administrative law judges (ALJs) and Board members from presidential removal violates the Constitution’s separation of powers. Workers’ greatest power has always been in direct action against employers. Legal remedies are just one tool in the broader struggle. Today, with the Board’s enforcement capacity under threat, the importance of shop floor power is clearer than ever.

Answers To Trump’s Anti-Worker Shutdown: Solidarity, Labor Militancy

October 11, 2025 Conor Lynch, In These Times. Strategize! Labor Movement, Militancy, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Trump Administration, Worker Rights and Jobs

A palpable sense of dread gripped many federal employees last week as the government inched closer to a shutdown and the Trump administration explicitly threatened to carry out another round of mass layoffs, effectively turning civil servants into bargaining chips. After eight months of periodic purges that began with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, the “never-ending nightmare” that federal workers have been through this year shows no signs of waning, with Russell Vought, President Donald Trump’s budget director, apparently seeing the shutdown as a perfect opportunity to inflict more trauma on “deep state” employees. With the shutdown now in full swing, Vought has promised that the White House will begin firing federal employees within “a day or two.”

Quantico: A Challenge To The US Working Class

October 9, 2025 John Catalinotto, Workers' World. Strategize! ICE, Pentagon, Trump Administration, US military, Working Class

Some 800 U.S. generals, admirals and their closest staff were summoned from their assignments all over the world to the military base in Quantico, Virginia, on Sept. 30. There, following their orders, they sat silently as they heard “War Secretary” Pete Hegseth insult them — then stayed silent as their commander in chief Donald Trump ranted for over an hour and advised them to use assaults on U.S. cities to train their troops. The most important takeaway is that Trump declared war on the working class and all oppressed sectors of U.S. society in his usual racist and misogynist style.

Protests Continue In Peru, As Polls Register 96% Rejection Of Boluarte

October 8, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Corruption, Dina Boluarte, Mass Action, Peru

Another massive mobilization took place on October 4 in Lima, Peru’s capital, against the government of Dina Boluarte. With this mobilization, it has now been three weeks in a row that thousands of Peruvians have taken to the streets to demand an end to the proposed pension reform, corruption, insecurity, and police abuse. But, as several analysts have pointed out, the protests are no longer focused solely on specific issues, but on raising the demand for an end to the Boluarte government. Boluarte took office after the overthrow of then-President Pedro Castillo, and led to the deaths of more than 60 Peruvians following massive protests between 2022 and 2023.

US Now Violating Long-Standing Informal Proxy War Rules

October 7, 2025 Ted Galen Carpenter, Antiwar.com. Strategize! Foreign Relations, NATO, Proxy War, Russia, Ukraine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is attracting growing attention as it threatens to spiral out of control. There is ample reason for concern. What began as a limited military assistance program to Kyiv from the United States and its European allies following Moscow’s expanded invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has morphed into something much larger and more dangerous. NATO members are no longer just supplying Ukraine with weaponry that could arguably be described as purely defensive; they are equipping their Ukrainian proxy with far more destructive, long-range weapons capable of reaching targets deep inside Russia. In addition, the United States and other NATO governments are assisting Ukrainian attacks by providing crucial military intelligence, including targeting data.

The Biggest Bargaining Mistake Unions Are Making In 2025

October 7, 2025 Richard De Vries, Labor Notes. Strategize! Collective bargaining, Inflation, Unions, Wages, Worker Rights and Jobs

When unions get ready for bargaining, we tend to look at the wage scale in our existing contract and think something like, “Let’s open with a proposal for a 5 percent raise every year, and maybe eventually we’ll settle at 3.75 percent.” This type of proposal was made out of habit when inflation was around 2 percent. While that may seem like a logical way to approach negotiations, you’re making a big mistake if you don’t take a closer look at the numbers. The error that many bargaining teams make is not reviewing the cost of living each of the previous five years. Because of extreme inflation during the last five years, minimum increases of as much as 10 percent may be needed to restore purchasing power.

Paris Climate Agreement Is The Global Climate ‘Movement’s’ Two State Solution

October 3, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Big Greens, climate crisis, False Solutions, Paris Agreement

The so-called Two State Solution is dead… It was poisoned by the architects of zionism before the zionist ethnostate was even established in 1948 through their own words as people like Theodore Herzl in his manifesto, The Jewish State, and Vladimir Jabotinsky in his proclamation, The Iron Wall proudly indicated that zionism is a colonial construct with the ultimate goal of permanently displacing the Palestinian population and replacing it with a European-Jewish population. The idea of a two state solution was suffocated after the Oslo accords by indicted War Criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party before the ink even dried on that agreement and they even labeled then Israeli Prime Minister, Yitxzhak Rabin as a “traitor and Nazi” for signing the agreement - rhetoric that many, including Rabin’s wife, believe inspired his assassination.
