US President Trump’s tariffs and trade policies represent a fundamental attack on Canadian working people. In our workplaces and communities, we are faced with layoffs, intensified attacks on social programs and rights, job security and potentially deep economic recession.

Se han levantado vientos contrarios en la carrera de Donald Trump para descarrilar y transformar el Estado y situar el Imperio estadounidense sobre una base radicalmente nueva, pero no por ello menos abrumadora. Esta vez, sin embargo, Trump ha llegado con una agenda más preparada, mientras que las fuerzas sociales para contrarrestar su avance siguen siendo una esperanza lejana.

First published at Nonsite on March 31 before Trump’s tariff announcement. Headwinds have emerged in Donald Trump’s rush to derail and transform the state and place the US Empire on a radically new — but no less oppressive — footing. This time, however, Trump came with a more primed agenda, while the social forces to counter his trajectory remain a remote wish. This facilitates Trump’s stubborn soldiering on. We do not know how far Trump will go.

The 2024 holiday season Amazon strike seemed driven more by a desire for media attention than the development of the deep worker base fundamental to forcing the company to accept a union. The world has radically changed over the past four-plus decades. Unions haven’t. Or at least they haven’t changed nearly enough to match what they’re up against.

The world has radically changed over the past four-plus decades. Unions haven’t. Or at least they haven’t changed nearly enough to match what they’re up against. In this context, unionizing Amazon — iconic in status and fanatically anti-union — stands as a definitive challenge for this generation of trade unionists. The catch-22 is that while unionizing Amazon holds out the promise of renewing labor, bringing Amazon to heel demands an already-revived labor movement in place.
