:: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 ::
A brief history of our struggle BC Carpenters resist International bullying By Doug McCorquodale McCarron, in a 1996 speech to BC Carpenters Union convention delegates, compared the carpenters union to a commercial enterprise and asked the delegates, 'Who would buy stock in this company?" The delegates listened in stony shock as he further explained that direct democracy, the system before McCarron's restructured union, must be replaced by representative democracy as they have in the present American political system. He reduced the union to a corporation that would rely on a political system similar to the one that has always been against working people. The speech reminded one of the Orwellian stories of the pigs that turned on their colleagues, the other animals, enslaving them on Animal Farm.------------------------------------------- posted 9:33 AM :: reference link ::
