Will Unions Lament the Attacks or Lead a Fightback?
by Michael Hurley and Sam Gindin
We are living one of those historic moments that cry out for rallying the working-class to build new capacities, new solidarities, and concrete hope. The crucial question is not how far the attacks on the public sector will go. The real question is how far we will let them go? How will working-class activists inside and outside the unions respond? Do we have a counter-plan? Are we preparing one? Can we act as decisively as those attacking us?

This a classic case of "you don't know what you've lost 'til it's gone". The question is: once unionism is crippled or destroyed, can it be re-assembled without the angst and bloodshed our forefathers endured?

[Dave Ruston]

Probably not. The fight for freedom and fairness is continuous, as the banker-corporate fascists are always looking for ways to enslave people. As that old saying goes, " The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." And to quote Thomas Jefferson, "The tree of liberty from time to time must be nourished with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Your comments on the state of public sector decline is one of truth . American imperialism
and the plutocracy insatiable appetite for economic world domination has no limits . Canada in particular has much to lose pimarily because of the close shared history and location have been vulnerable . I have great respect for Canada it's history and culture .
I only hope that as time slips by , will this great nation be able to not be absorbed by the giant to the south .

They want unioins to fight back, so they can justify stomping on them with their propaganda networks.

It is just one part of their war on life;
