Amazon strike in the US poses need for global rank-and-file strategy against hi-tech exploitation
Amazon workers must insist that their strike not be limited in advance by the Teamsters to only three days, which severely limits its impact during the height of the holiday shopping season.

The CUPW leadership has issued no call for postal workers to defy the impending, patently anti-democratic government-order illegalizing their strike. As for the Canadian Labour Congress, it hasn’t so much as bothered to issue a press release denouncing the Liberal government's strikebreaking.

The Canada Post strike at the crossroads: Postal Workers Rank-and-File Committee to hold public meeting on Sunday, December 8
