The Time Is Right For A "National Workers Association"......

7. As I Indicated In My Original Post.....

"It could initially be organized around current unions and they could immediately become the core of such an organization."

I also indicated that unions in general have been losing their effectiveness since the Reagan days. That is why I would like to take the terms 'union' and 'labor' out of the name of such an organization because they have been tainted by years of Republican's bashing them and many employers concerns about them.

"Workers" - seems to be a more palatable term in my opinion. Any one that works - would see themselves as eligible to join such an organization. Even many workers out there seem to have a negative perspective on 'unions' and 'labor. In many cases - now - people in the same company might be union and non-union employees. Sometimes the non-union employees are at odds with those in their same company that are in a union.

Terming this as "workers" would put every worker on an equal footing.

My thought was to start fresh and leave the old/current way of doing things out of it - and bring new life and a new excitement to protecting workers rights.
