The International Women’s Strike, New York.

Sign the petition in solidarity with PepsiCo workers.

For weeks, Argentine PepsiCo workers have been fighting to get their jobs back after the multinational illegally closed the plant. The workers occupied the factory, only to get violently evicted last week. On Tuesday, the workers and their allies took to the streets– 30,000 strong- to demand the reopening of the PepsiCo plant and denounce the violent repression.

Now the fight continues, organized around a tent in front of the National Congress where the workers will organize their struggle, as well as a broader fight against austerity.

In the United States and the UK, over 500 people and organizations have signed a petition in solidarity with the workers.

Ken Loach, acclaimed British director, tweeted support for the PepsiCo workers.

Academics such as Cinzia Arruzza, Charlie Post, Michael Roberts, Ian Angus have also sent support.

The International Solidarity Commission of the IWW published a solidarity statement on their website.

President Biden giving a speech on Friday, September 15, about the UAW strike. A UAW sign in the background.

Joe Biden Is Afraid of the UAW Strike. That’s a Good Thing.

A few days ago, Biden called on the bosses of the Big Three automakers to give concessions to the striking UAW workers. It’s because he’s scared of the UAW’s power.

To Win, the UAW Strike Must Be Organized from Below

The strike at the Big Three has put the working class at the center of national politics. The autoworkers’ demands are bold and touch on issues of growing exploitation across the country. To win big, the strike must be organized from below.

UAW: The Contract Fight of Their Lives 

With ambitious demands on the table and billions of dollars on the line for the Big Three, the UAW contract struggle is shaping up to be one of the most important and unprecedented labor actions in years.

The UAW Is Right: All Workers Deserve a Shorter Work Week AND Higher Wages

The current contract struggle at The Big Three and increasing automation in the auto industry raise an important question: How can we use technology to benefit the working class rather than feed the profits of the bosses?

China’s Rise, ‘Diminished Dependency,’ and Imperialism in Times of World Disorder

In this broad-ranging interview, originally published in LINKS, Trotskyist Fraction member Esteban Mercatante discusses how recent global shifts in processes of capital accumulation have contributed to China’s rise, the new (and old) mechanisms big powers use to plunder the Global South, and its implications for anti-imperialist and working-class struggles today.

Crisis in Lampedusa: Down with Fortress Europe, Open the Borders!

The way out of the immigration crisis is through the struggle against imperialism. This is a declaration from the European organizations of the Trotskyist Fraction - Fourth International.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams stands at a podium.

The Housing Crisis and Migrant Crisis Are Crises of Capitalism

As thousands of people come to the U.S. seeking shelter, politicians around the country are claiming that housing in the U.S. is already in crisis and that there is no room for them. Both the “migrant crisis” and “housing crisis” are crises created and exacerbated by capitalism.
