:: Sunday, July 20, 2003 ::
Soaking, Sucking and Silence: "That's why unions are so important. So that workers can effectively stand up to the corporate leaders when the suits just can't get enough. That's why a 'labour movement' is so important. So that working people, whatever they do for a living, can advance their collective interests and can support each other when the going gets tough.
The problem is that certain unions have lost sight of their reason for being or have in the least misunderstood 'effectively standing up...' to mean 'effectively sucking up to corporate leaders'."------------------------------------------- posted 8:51 AM :: reference link ::
