The WSWS, published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world socialist movement, is playing a critical role to prepare workers in the face of one of the greatest global disasters confronting mankind. Either the working class will intervene and marshal society’s resources to put an end to the pandemic, or the ruling elites will allow millions to needlessly perish.

Workers have begun to fight back. Wildcat strikes have erupted across Italy to demand idling of plants, and among London postal workers and private bus drivers in Paris, while autoworkers in the US, Canada and globally have walked out over concerns about the spread of the virus.
