White House executive orders aim to hold workers in check By Terry Evans February 8, 2021 Chart shows steep fall in employment in 2020, even with partial recovery. Rate is falling again now. Workers need to be at work, alongside fellow workers, to fight attacks by bosses, gov’t.
President Joe Biden spent his first days in office churning out executive orders, avoiding debate or vote by Congress. He aims to put a stamp of “political correctness” on government agencies and much more. These measures are a danger to the working class.
At the same time, nothing has changed about the disaster of widespread joblessness afflicting working people. His administration, as Trump’s did, governs over a crisis of the capitalist class that bosses are offloading onto the backs of working people.
