The True Face of the IWA & CLC MfD OpenForum, ufcw.net
The CLC had a sort of gathering - like a cross between an IWA hiring hall and a bingo hall raffle. It was decided that the union that kissed the asses of the IWA executives the most got to take over the pathetic IWA and the opportunity to lead the race to the bottom in the labour movement. The winner was Georgetti's Steelworkers union. Well, it's not really his Steelworkers union, but it used run a big local so he might just have had some influence at the dues raffle bingo.
That's what the CUPE members got from the CLC.
The IWA's grandstanding and chest beating - with its dues trophy held high - points to only one conclusion: The CLC is dead, it's finished. It has no relevancy whatsoever for union members. It's become a trade association for biz unionists that supports itself with dues that it takes from their pockets. Start your own labour movement. The one you've got right now is dead.------------------------------------------- posted 10:09 AM :: reference link ::
