Union isolates Australian glass workers as plant closures loom
By Mike Head
Workers at CSR Viridian glass making plants are being deliberately isolated by the Australian Workers Union (AWU) as the company proceeds with its plans to axe more than 200 jobs and shut the Ingleburn, Sydney plant by mid-July. An Ingleburn worker told the WSWS: “We have been left to rot. The union is just fighting for dribs and drabs, while we are being left to find our own way.”
The AWU has not said a (...)

By WSWS
Two and a half weeks after Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast of the United States, thousands of people remained without electricity, heat, or hot water. In some areas of Long Island, victims organized rallies to protest the failure of the local utility company, LIPA, to restore power to their homes.
In New York City, some residents of Knickerbocker Village, a 1,600-unit housing complex in (...) -

1 May 2013, by Robert ParisAverage US student debt tops $20,000
By Zac Corrigan
In the last decade, the percentage of US 25-year-olds with student debt has grown by nearly one third, and the average amount owed by them has risen by a staggering 91 percent. These are two key findings of a report published April 17 by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY). This explosion of youth indebtedness has correlated with other economic trends—especially since the recession triggered in 2008—to indenture a huge (...) -
Tax Time – Who Pays and Who Profits?
18 April 2014, by Robert ParisTax Time – Who Pays and Who Profits?
Every April we sit down to pay our taxes, calculating the amount of our monthly earnings which have already been drained, or worse, discovering we owe money. But not everyone faces this burden. Those of us in the working class pay a disproportionate amount of taxes compared to the wealthy, and some of the wealthiest corporations pay no taxes at all! In other words, we pay, but they take home all their profits.
The tax system is a maze of laws and (...) -

A significant report on the global economy
26 November 2012, by Robert ParisA significant report on the global economy
By Nick Beams
A report by a major US forecasting group has poured cold water on the idea that China, or any of the so-called emerging markets, can provide a new base of expansion for the global capitalist economy, either in the short- or long-term.
The Conference Board, described by Wikipedia as an unbiased and “trusted source for statistics and trends, second only perhaps to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics,” issued a series of economic (...) -
Government Says Our Lives Don’t Matter
16 October 2013, by Robert ParisGovernment Says Our Lives Don’t Matter
We’re entering our third week of this so-called government shutdown. And it is an outrage that the politicians think they can play games with our lives. Because Democrats and Republicans in Congress can’t agree on a budget, working families have had to suffer. And the main disagreements over this budget they are trying to pass are about how deeply to cut various social programs. But that there will be huge cuts is already agreed upon.
Congress may (...) -

Trotsky was the first leader of October Revolution and Red Army
24 December 2017, by Robert ParisTrotsky was the first leader of October Revolution and Red Army
Red Army, by Erich Wollenberg
The armed conflict against internal counter-revolution began even before the seizure of power by the Bolshevists. When, in August 1917, General Kornilov marched on Petrograd, his main blow was aimed at the rising socialist proletariat rather than the vacillating bourgeois democracy. But the hard struggle for self-preservation and the consolidation and amplification of the October Revolution, (...) -
