The labor movement and the struggle for a working-class future
A new report from the CPUSA Labor Commission on its analysis of the U.S. labor movement
https://t.co/vOC5PZiDfM
The U.S. labor movement today displays sharp contradictions. On the one hand, we see clear signs of progress and popular support for unions. But on the other hand, these signs exist alongside entrenched structural weaknesses within the unions, a hostile political environment, and the relentless anti-worker offensive of monopoly capital — the financial oligarchy — who remain fixated solely on maximizing profit.
Nearly 1K members of UAW Local 2093 are on strike against American Axle.
Like the rest of the working class in the U.S., after decades of falling behind while the capitalist class raked in billions, they’re not going anywhere until they get what they’ve earned.
Solidarity!
Federal unions battle Trump's attempt to muzzle federal workers. "Sit down and shut up," is the message the president has for government employees

More than 1,700 Teamsters at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan, Colo., are locked out after months of fighting for a new contract with the meat processing giant.
Cargill is the largest privately held corporation in the United States and raked in $160 billion last year. It’s time for Cargill to come back to the table and give the Teamsters who are critical to processing millions of pounds of beef for American families nationwide the contract they deserve.
Once again, all eyes are on Delaney Hall concentration camp in Newark, where detainees and allies are united in protest against squalid conditions, brutal mistreatment, and lack of democratic oversight. Like many of this administration’s policies, however, dehumanization and torture of people in state custody is nothing new. Nor is the use of violence against protestors. ICE terror tactics were developed in police departments and in prisons--some state-run, others operated for profit by the same corporations now making bank on the mass deportation agenda. Can the broad resistance to ICE connect with ongoing struggles for prison abolition and community control of police? And can capitalism survive without its apparatus of racist state terror? Join us for a discussion of state violence, abolition-democracy, and working class self-determination.
Join us Friday at 10:30 for the discussion. https://t.co/2ZAZVMdFRr

The Communist Party USA condemns the politically motivated charges brought against Raúl Castro as yet another example of the tyranny and hypocrisy by the United States. The sole purpose of these charges is to provide an excuse to pursue the decades-old regime change policy against socialist Cuba. Read the full article here: https://t.co/FewBrvXXgX
"... American Axle workers are still taking home about half of what they earned before 2008. Exploitation has significantly deepened, and workers are feeling the squeeze, with some reporting that they had to sleep in their cars because the pay is so low."

🛑 A conversa da “flexibilidade” já é velha.
Como explica Bruno Dias, o que o Governo e o patronato querem é simples: mais horas, menos direitos, salários baixos e menos liberdade sindical.
✊3 de Junho — Greve Geral. Contra o pacote laboral.

Protests at Newark immigrant detention center grow, including an ongoing hunger strike in protest of the conditions there.
The hunger strikers sent letters weeks before their strike about the deplorable conditions, and elected officials sat on the information until the hunger strike began.

Shut down detention centers!
Call, write, and visit your U.S. Senators and Representative to demand that ICE detention centers be shut down and no further funding for ICE and border patrol be allocated. The illegal denial of access to elected officials for oversight at Delaney Hall, a private for-profit mass detention center in Newark, NJ, is an alarming abuse of power. Growing reports of inhumane conditions imposed at these prisons on immigrants with no criminal records is unacceptable and requires they be closed.
Vote NO on the $71 billion for ICE and CBP in the reconciliation bill under consideration. Instead, allocate those funds to the basic needs of working-class and immigrant communities to benefit everyone.
Call 202-225-3121 today and ask for your U.S. Senators and Representative. Click here to send them a letter: https://t.co/jKnrMp33C4
Then, fill in your info to send a short letter to your elected officials. And please share with your coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors.
