Over the last several days, the WSWS and the WSWS UPS Workers Newsletter have become a critical source of information and political perspective for 250,000 United Parcel Service workers. After the Teamsters union announced it was overriding a majority vote by UPS workers, and would unilaterally impose a pro-company contract, WSWS articles on this struggle have been shared and posted at UPS hubs across the country, and hundreds of UPS workers have joined WSWS online forums.
The WSWS has also provided live coverage from the picket lines of hotel workers in Chicago, Boston, Detroit and other cities. And last month, the WSWS was the first to expose the bogus deal between Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Bernie Sanders to raise the base pay of Amazon workers to $15 an hour.
The reemergence of the class struggle is taking place on a global scale. In recent days, the WSWS sent reporting teams to cities in France and the Netherlands to interview workers and young people involved in strikes and mass protests against austerity. In every country, workers are clashing with the pro-capitalist and nationalist leaders, and the international socialist perspective provided by the WSWS is needed more than ever.
We need your financial support. Your donations help to cover the cost of travel and accommodation, the publishing of newsletters and leaflets, the sending out of text messages, and the production of social media material to educate workers and unify their struggles internationally.
Please make the greatest sacrifice you can to support the WSWS.
Fraternally,
Jerry White
