PSL Editorial – Rail industry showdown: Joe Biden vs. the right to strike

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer Joe Biden has shown his true colors: He stands with corporate bosses over union workers. In a statement released last night, Biden stabbed rail workers in the back by calling on Congress to pass legislation imposing the terms of a tentative deal that was rejected by the members of key unions in the industry. Top congressional leaders immediately announced their intention to do just that. Negotiations between unions and rail bosses are going down to the wire ahead of a Dec. 9 deadline when the mandated “cooling off” period ends and workers are able to legally strike. A tentative agreement had been struck at the bargaining table on Sept. 15, but workers in several unions decided that the terms did not adequately address the hardships they are...

Slaughterhouses in Minnesota and Nebraska use child labor for sanitation

Zach Patnoe Download PDF flyer In something reminiscent of Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle,” slaughterhouses in Nebraska and Minnesota have been exposed for using children as overnight sanitation workers. A JBS USA plant in Worthington, Minnesota, another in Grand Island, Nebraska, as well as a Turkey Valley plant in Marshall, Minnesota, were all found to have contracted Packer Sanitation Services Inc. for their overnight cleaning crews. In these three plants, PSSI allegedly had at least 31 minors working to clean killing floors and butcher equipment with the youngest of them only 13 years old. PSSI was having these children work up to as many as seven days a week on the graveyard shift, starting at 11:00 p.m. and finishing just before school started in the morning. The ongoing ...

The SFG was founded in 1993 by only four members during dictatorial rule. Its mission was to advance in public discourse the cause of socialism and pan-Africanism, as well as the legacy of Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah — Ghana’s first prime minister, whose socialist project was cut short less than a decade after independence by a CIA-backed military coup. Ghana was the first African nation to win its independence from European imperialism in 1957 and has been in the forefront...

The Zionists invent anti-Semitic Jews

By Lawrence Davidson The Zionist “Anti-Defamation League” turns on the Jews Jonathan Greenblatt is the present chief executive officer of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). This is a long established American Jewish organisation (founded in 1913) that seeks to identify and discredit anti-Semitism (usually defined as disliking, or even hating, Jews just because they are Jews). In 1948 the state of Israel was founded. Zionism, which calls for a nation-state for Jews in the land of Palestine, was and is Israel’s official ideology. Soon after 1948 the ADL, along with most other “mainstream” American Jewish institutions, became dedicated to forwarding the interests of Zionist Israel. Today, Jonathan Greenblatt can be considered a lobbyist taking direction from the Israeli governm...

From Gaza to Jerusalem: A Tourist in My Own Palestine

I held in tears for the two-and-a-half-hour journey, struck by Palestine’s beauty. Born and raised in Gaza, I had never, in all of my 25 years, traveled beyond its confines. I’d known from books, pictures, and videos that Palestine was the most beautiful country in the world, but the reality was overwhelming. I saw green trees, rolling hills, modern buildings, and a train station. Gaza seems to have nothing but the sea. On the way to Ramallah, there was nothing but beauty. I was headed to a conference in the West Bank for Palestinian alumni of the US Government Exchange and Public Diplomacy programs. When ...

‘When I Paint, I Feel Pleasure and Relief’: Challenges Faced by Young Artists in Gaza

Suhair al-Shawi while performing Palestinian music. (Photo: WANN, Supplied) By Shahd Safi “When I paint, I feel pleasure and relief. Painting is how I cope with this exhausting reality,” says Walid Al Yaqoubi, one of many young people in Gaza who find art helps them survive psychologically the harsh conditions of daily life. But because of the economic situation, very few of them are able to make a living from their talent. The Palestine Chronicle spoke to three of them about their dreams and their struggles. Walid, 20, loved art since childhood and now studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Al Aqsa University. He believes he would have struggled mentally had he not been able to paint and draw. A sensitive and introverted person, Walid said he spent years creating ...

The road to Nazi fascism is paved with complacency

Israel: The road to fascism is paved with complacency Award-winning Israeli author and Haaretz newspaper journalist Gideon Levy discusses the implications of the latest Israeli election, which took place earlier this month (1 November 2022). He says for Israeli Arabs and, especially, for the Palestinians under Israeli occupation, matters may became much worse, and he notes the total lack of interest of Israelis in the plight of the Palestinian people, let alone finding a just solution to the Palestinian issue. Much of this indifference can be attributed to the Israeli media whose coverage of the Palestinians, contrary to the assertions of various Western media guides, is anything but fair. The only hope of a breakthrough lies in pressure from the United States and the Europ...

Amazon workers against Victorian working conditions and derisory pay

Despite unions being banned by Amazon, its British staff have been staging wildcat actions in defence of their right to decent pay and conditions. Lalkar writers A wave of unofficial wildcat strikes is sweeping across Amazon’s British warehouses, with hundreds of workers across the country independently staging walkouts, sit-ins and work slowdowns in protest at the derisory nature of their long-awaited pay rises.
