‘War on Terrorism’
The recent article “U.S. gov’t makes gains in ‘war on terrorism’” [November 10 Militant, no. 39] I think left out a clear reason for this “war on terrorism.” We are bombarded daily with the phrase. Why is the U.S. spending huge material and human resources to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan?

Second, I would like more coverage of the occupation and the response of those fighting against it.

RMI Titanium strike
I was wondering if your paper has heard about a strike at RMI Titanium in Niles, Ohio. I would like to know how a company can get fined 105K range from OSHA violations and yet when it comes to the company helping its bread and butter, the workers, it fails. Who is running this rinky-dink outfit anyway. I’m about fed up with the corporate structure screwing the exact people that give them their bonuses and the mansions and expensive cars they drive. Now, you can mark my words, that this will be just like the last strike when they bring in scabs and tear a town apart. I worked up there in that area and was a USWA member over 20 years ago and it’s the same old bunk. I am about ready to take a drive and join these men and women in their fight against what I call company corruption.
