Why labor has stake in fighting for racial equality

2. Trumka lays it all out.

It's not ever race, it's class -- those who work (the working class) and those who don't (the capitalist class).

The capitalists will use every tool imaginable to divide us. Historically, they did use race, but organizations like the C.I.O and the IWW stood firmly against this division -- the IWW has never formed a segregated shop in its existence.

When we are all slaves and most of us living on subsistence wages, skin color doesn't mean anything.
