Reply #1: WSWS routinely lies about AFL-CIO unions so I would doubt anything in this article

[HamdenRice]

As you know, WSWS is part of a corporate Trotskyite cult owned by the CEO of an advertising printing firm that services the country's largest corporations.

The "Dear Leader" of WSWS who has never been elected leader of WSWS, but has run WSWS-SEP and its predecessor organizations for decades as a cult without a single election, hates unions, and his own $26 million dollar business, from which he earns about a $1 million per year, is a non-union shop. He has a record of calling out his cult members to counter-picket any AFL-CIO strike picket, and even cooperated with federal prosecutors to railroad a real union official to prison.

"Dear Leader" of WSWS doesn't even tell his members his real name. He goes by the pseudonym of "David North" to his cult followers, but his real name is David Green.

Dear Leader writes long rambling theoretical essays that establish the WSWS "correct party line" and all WSWS articles are written so that the facts and opinions conform to Dear Leader's thoughts.

That's why there's no way of telling whether anything in a WSWS "article" is true or not, and why many people automatically unrec anything cross posted from WSWS to DU.
