New Model for the Labor Movement? Behind the UNITE HERE Union Merger By Lee Sustar, CounterPunch
The reality is that the New Unity Partnership program isn't a return to the militant roots of the CIO, but an attempt to take on corporations by imitating them--with large, centralized organizations that can use resources more effectively. Any serious bid to organize the unorganized should be welcomed--and the New Unity Partnership could open a long overdue debate in the AFL-CIO in the run-up to the federation's convention next year.
But its top-down methods and limited social vision are incapable of leading a genuine revival of the unions. That will only come when the real legacy of the CIO--a dynamic, militant rank and file organizing from below--is revived by a new generation of workers.------------------------------------------- posted 7:47 AM :: reference link ::
