Great Moments In The History of the Labor Movement


AFL-CIO President Trumka Drops the Facade: “Our Long-Term Job is to Re-establish Popular Control Over Private Corporations”…



From Weasel Zippers:

A cynical, deeply dishonest and incoherent message—that big government is somehow to blame for the current crisis that the budget deficit will eat our children, and that illegal immigrants took all the good jobs.
We have to offer working people something other than the dead-end choice between the failed agenda of greed and the voices of hate and division and violence.
There is an alliance of the corporations and high-powered government politicians against the interests of working people.
Why the work [Working America] is doing is so critical. I would just strongly urge everyone to get to work organizing on the local level because I think it’s the only way we’re going to turn things around in this country.
We need to fundamentally restructure our economy and re-establish popular control over the private corporations which have distorted our economy and hijacked our government. That’s a long-term job, but one we should start now.
