Max, isn't it illegal in many cases to organize boycotts against union busters in the US. If we think it's so important to boycott such foreign producers--and to organize massive Seattle size rallies towards this end--why not so much pressure to revise US law?

CB: Right on Rakesh. Secondary boycotts are illegal in the U.S. Let the AFL get busy organizing and denouncing that. This law is so crazy that it was used successfully against the NAACP which organized secondary boycotts to pressure of civil rights. Notice this is a way not to use the state to demand rights and concessions from the bourgeois and their governments.
