BREAKING UP IS THE RIGHT THING....
The break up of the AFL-CIO is the right thing to do at this time....
Labor needs to go back to the drawing board and re-define itself.
Public sector unions are essentially different from Private sector unions...
The former live in the command economy of taxation and monopoly services;
The latter are struggling with international private capital and free trade globalism. It's a totally different political dynamic here....
UNIONIZING THE NEW "WALMART AMERICA" IS THE NEXT BIG JOB FOR ORGANIZED LABOR...THE POLITICS WILL COME AROUND, BUT ONLY AFTER THE WORKERS ARE ORGANIZED...
TRYING TO PLAY IN THE KORRUPT HALLS OF KONGRESS IS A LOSERS' GAME FOR LABORS' OLD GAURD...BECAUSE THEY JUST CAN'T COMPETE WITH INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL NOW.
BACK TO THE GRASS ROOTS IS LABOR'S AND DEMOCRATS' ONLY HOPE.
