New Labor Press is happy to publish the second edition of Labor Storm, the biannual newsletter of the New Labor Organizing Committee (NLOC). For the second edition, in addition to updates on the work of the NLOC-affiliated workers’ shop organizations, there is also a section that presents the work ofthe New Labor Committees founded last Spring. The New Labor Committees are workers’ circle-type organizations which conduct public mass meetings or studies, as well as support the work of the current shop organizations and the initiation of new shop organizations.

The edition also begins with an introduction by the NLOC Executive Committee, which we will share an excerpt of:

“In short, independent labor organizing is only going to become a more urgent need in 2026. The government is doing everything possible to liquidate existing concessions to the working class, and the state unions are either passively accepting it or actively assisting in this task. The state unions are simply incapable of resolving any of the basic grievances the American workers have. There are colossal struggles ahead between American imperialism on the one hand and the workers and oppressed nations on the other, and the working class cannot win them if they are not united.“
