What’s needed to prevent Right Wing from destroying unions?

[Sherman A1]

If anyone in Organized Labor thinks we can try to talk and/or reason with the Republican Party, which has now been taken over by the radical right, or reach some kind of an accommodation with them, they are “living in an illusion.” That’s because “they are not taking prisoners…they simply want to annihilate Organized Labor.”

With those frank comments, author and labor activist Bill Fletcher Jr., launched into a startling presentation as to the need, the desperate need, for Organized Labor to rebuild itself “or we’ll be history.”

In St. Louis last month to talk about his new book, They’re Bankrupting Us! And 20 Other Myths About Unions, Fletcher took a bolder, broader approach to the survival of the labor movement, which he characterized as “absolutely essential because there is no democracy without a real labor union, an independent democratic movement. A lot of people don’t get that. We have to reintroduce that discussion.”

2. It's simple. Stop putting Republicans in office.

3. That would in the long run be the simplest solution

and being so, is probably the most unlikely one to occur.

4. Republicans are the tool that big business has used to crush unions

And they have been extremely successful, now corporate profits are rising and wages are plummeting. People are hurting and it's up to Unions to make their case and organize.
