A new study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has confirmed what miners, their widows and black lung clinic physicians have warned for years: the deadly and preventable disease has returned to levels not seen in nearly half a century.

Twenty-five years since the #September11 terrorist attacks: the record of the WSWS.

Twenty-five years on, the analysis made by the WSWS of these events has stood the test of time. We present below a selection of the major statements and analysis made contemporaneously by the WSWS.

A worker at Toledo Jeep, where Antonio Gaston was crushed to death on the assembly line in 2024, explained that "the union is in bed with management." Another said, "We all should band together and take a stand because there's a lot of things going on that we don't agree with."

Bogdan Syrotiuk, a 27-year-old socialist, got 15 years in a Ukrainian prison for writing that Russian and Ukrainian workers have no reason to kill each other.

I demand his immediate, unconditional release. So should every UAW member. Sign the petition. Link in comments.

#BradleyClouse died at #Astemo Berea last week. The plant was cited in 2016 & 2020 for the same machine-guarding violation. I'm investigating. If you work there & know anything about lockout/tagout, contact me confidentially. His family deserves the truth.https://t.co/sADjQdpNni

This morning, I was confronted by my union rep and was told that campaigning at the UAW constitutional convention could cause my company to fire me. I reported this to the federal monitor in this letter below.

If I am being threatened with termination for fighting for the rank and file at a union convention, I can't imagine what other workers are facing in terms of intimidation. I have watched the UAW bureaucracy treat multiple delegates here in an anti-democratic manner, and I was told by multiple long-time UAW members that this is the least democratic convention they have ever seen. Workers must take action against these betrayals.

***

Dear Monitor:

At around 9 AM this morning, in the hallway outside the floor of the convention, Mr. Lehman was threatened with being terminated from his job for campaigning for delegates to nominate him. Local 677 President Mike Shupp approached Mr. Lehman and told him that UAW International Representative for Heavy Trucks Doug Irvine communicated to Mr. Shupp that Mr. Lehman could be fired from his position at Mack Trucks. Mr. Shupp communicated this threat to Mr. Lehman by saying that if Holly Georgell, Director of Employee and Labor Relations at Mack Trucks, found out Mr. Lehman is campaigning for his nomination at the convention, he could be fired.

Election Rule 4-4's "Freedom to Advocate" provision states, "Any threats, intimidation, retaliation, penalty, discipline, or improper interference of any kind, or any similar conduct is strictly prohibited, and reports of such violations shall be investigated by the monitor." Election Rule 4-5,'s "Retaliation and Discrimination" provision states that the proscription of "threat of retaliation" against a Union member "specifically includes each member's freedom...to run for or seek to run for International office as a Candidate."

As a result of these threats, Mr. Lehman has temporarily stopped campaigning outside the convention hall out of fear of losing his job. Mr. Lehman has lost several hours of campaigning time as a result of the intimidation. The harm is irreparable if not remedied immediately--today.

We demand that the Monitor initiate its obligation under the rules to conduct an investigation into the intimidation of Mr. Lehman, including by investigating whether other delegates are being threatened if they nominate Mr. Lehman. The proper remedy for the ongoing violation is for Mr. Lehman to be given 5 minutes to address the full convention before the nomination of candidates.

Insofar as the Canadian ruling class opposes Trump, it is solely from the standpoint of defending its “sovereign” right to the lion’s share of the profits derived from exploiting Canada’s workers and abundant resources.

The corporate oligarchy wants cannon fodder for its illegal and expanding wars of aggression.
While #Trump signed the measure into law, the drive to reimpose conscription is #bipartisan.
