The Future of Labor - An OpEd by Gerald W. McEntee, Sweeney Solidarity Team
If the current debate over the future of unions results in a fractured labor movement, there will be some clear winners and losers. The winners will be President Bush, anti-worker politicians and Big Business. The losers will be America's workers.
The labor movement was founded to improve the lives of all working people and our strength has been our solidarity. Workers and their unions were the engine of change that gave this country the minimum wage law; a 40-hour workweek; child labor laws; collective bargaining rights that allow workers to negotiate their salary, hours and retirement funds; Social Security; the Civil Rights Act and much more.------------------------------------------- posted 4:13 PM :: reference link ::
