Reply #92: Stern is one of the exceptions

He's got one idea right -- recruit new members into unions instead of the old useless, wasteful method of trying to buy politicians, especially since unions are consistently outbid by the corporate capitalist masters.

Unfortunately, he's pretty much a voice in the wilderness of a still deeply entrenched labor union "leadership" in bed with the masters of the universe.

He's also deeply hamstrung by that anti-labor abortion called Taft-Hartley. There will be NO successful Labor Movement in this country until that impediment is removed.


The Employee Free Choice Act is a nice small step in the right direction:

H.R. 800 .... Employee Free Choice Act
S. 1041 .... Employee Free Choice Act of 2007


A general strike would go further but in a country where the majority of the Working Class don't believe they're "working class" it's not likely to happen.
