In Key State of Delaware, 'Corporate Insider Power Grab' Quietly Underway
Specifically, as AELP laid out, "S.B. 21 jeopardizes the ability of investors to protect themselves from harmful board decisions that slash returns to investors' hard-earned retirement savings, such as awarding exorbitant executive pay packages that far exceed any rational benchmark, or overpaying to acquire companies in which controlling shareholders have financial stakes."

CP of Greece, CONFERENCE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNIST ACTION: The struggle of the working class and its movement is the real catalyst of developments..
We would like to thank all the comrades who are present in Paris today and the comrades participating online in today's meeting of the ECA, which shows, among other things, the importance that the communist and workers' parties of the ECA attach to the contemporary working class, which is the basic productive force of capitalist society and the class that suffers from capitalist exploitation. At the same time, we are aware that its historical mission, which can be summarized in the struggle for the overthrow of the capitalist relations of production and the construction of a new, socialist–communist society, cannot be fulfilled if the Communist Parties are not rooted in the working class, if we do not act within the workers’ – trade union movement, if we do not have party organizations in the workplaces and sectors.

Modi Govt’s Craven Response To US Tariff Hikes
The US has imposed an additional 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum products from Canada, along with various goods exported to the US from Mexico and China. These actions have been met with strong opposition from the affected countries, as they violate multiple trade agreements previously concluded with the US, as well as World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules. In response, Mexico and China have imposed retaliatory tariffs on US products, and Canada has also announced its intention to do the same. Unlike these countries, the reaction of the Indian government has been rather tame.

Tariffs Analyzed From a Class Stance
The key to a capitalist economy is the state of its capital accumulation. That goes for understanding tariffs in particular.
[-] U.S. tariffs were successful in the late 19th century. Capital accumulation was vigorous, and tariff protection helped develop domestic industries. [-] The 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariffs certainly did not help when the boom of the 1920s had already collapsed into a deep depression. Capitalism cannot evade the law of the falling rate of profit; boom turns into bust. [-] Now, Trump’s tariffs make things worse for workers. The immediate consequence is higher prices. In theory, there could also be a positive impact if tariffs on cheap-labor products from China, Mexico, Vietnam, India, etc., spurred capital investment in domestic production. It is a mirage. Capital in decay chases ever-lower wages or races for a technology niche it can monopolize. Capital does not see more profit from investment in good jobs and a rising standard of living for U.S. workers.
