Labor's Future is Ours By Jeff Epton, In These Times
A historical fact: When unions have been strong, other social movements make gains too. It is time for all progressives, and Democrats, to recognize this.
Corporate America and the Republican Party have forged a partnership that currently decrees the contours of our economic and cultural life. If progressives ever want to counter this corporate hegemony, they must learn from the past and embrace the strength and potential of the union movement. For their part, labor leaders must refocus on their original mission—to build solidarity among all workers, to play a leading role in defining the conditions of work and to organize the unorganized.
We have no choice but to care about the future of labor. Its future is our own.------------------------------------------- posted 1:31 PM :: reference link ::
