UFCW.net Members for Democracy - FRONT PAGE Is the media biased against unions or is there no good news to report?
Ominously, the trend appears to be spreading from the mainstream to the alternative media. Here's Harry Kelber, a well known labor activist and proponent of union democracy saying a lot of very negative things about mainstream unions and their leaders on The Labor Educator. Now that's some real heavy duty negativity there Harry. Haven't you heard that expression, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"?
AFL-CIO Critic Expelled from Union - discussion
Posting from Toronto:
"Harry is actually quite unique and I think that it's remarkable that he is with us today and continuing his efforts on behalf of working people. Most of his contemporaries (maybe pretty much all of them) from the pre-WW2 era, are either dead, long since retired or were co-opted into the system long ago. It's almost like he's a blast from the past come to shake things up in the year 2004 with ideas about unionism that are a valid and empowering today as they were 50 years ago."------------------------------------------- posted 6:48 AM :: reference link ::
