Can't Workers of the World Unite? By David Moberg, The Nation
The need for strategic, focused growth for power is undeniable. Stern rightly urges unions to build institutions that can match the power of global corporations and raise the standards for workers across an industry. But it is equally important to create a broad working-class movement for economic democracy driven by existing union members and newly recruited workers. Whatever compromise structural reforms they finally adopt, labor leaders must overcome their institutional rivalries to recognize that they have at least as much shared interest in the success of organizing as they do in political victory. The cheery side of labor's plight is that even though there are many obstacles to organizing, there's no shortage of opportunities. The next few months will test how labor plans to rise to that challenge.------------------------------------------- posted 12:20 PM :: reference link ::
