Active activism
Yesterday, March 30th 2011, I went to Cortland, NY protesting New York's budget and demanding a "Fair Budget" Rally!
It was invigorating. The crowd of union workers, public and private was about 200 strong. The speakers were mostly fiery and articulate.
Then it was over and everybody smiled and went home; including me.
This coming Monday, April 4th, will mark a day of national protest and action. All over the USA there will be rallies held to protest the huge cuts to…

IWW song
Conditions they are bad, And some of you are sad;
You cannot see your enemy, The class that lives in luxury,
–You workingmen are poor, –Will be for evermore,
–As long as you permit the few To guide your destiny.
Shall we still be slaves and work for wages?
It is outrageous—has been for ages;
This earth by right belongs to toilers, And not to spoilers of liberty.
The master class is small, But they have lots of "gall."
When we unite to…

Good article on Ontario's Bill 150 - attack on public-sector workers
The purpose of the Ontario Government's Bill 150 is effectively to break the union. When the employer says “no” at the bargaining table, and you can't walk out in support of your bargaining objectives, then you have to ask yourself with respect to unions: “what is the purpose of being there?”
