1. That was an EXCELLENT op-ed
Thank you, Omaha Steve, for holding up the banner of LABOR. Organized and fighting. There seems to be so little correlation anymore with the "left" and organized labor. It is sad. I have long believed it began when the left began concentrating on identity politics and separating along sex, race, sexual orientation, abortion, etc. etc. The one thing that brought us all TOGETHER was economic justice and labor/workers rights. Today, some almost look at it as nostalgia when organized labor is needed now as much as EVER before. Bread & Roses, Pullman, Ludlow included. It may not be as bloody, but the drive to stamp out rights for ordinary working men and women is as strong as it has ever been. Thanks again, Omaha Steve.
