I see it didn't take very long to be back to argument by insult.
As a matter of fact, the argument I made with respect to one union organizing one industry, in order to consolidate and maximize bargaining power of the workers in that industry, is quite clearly the classical industrial unionist argument. There are parts of the industrial unionist heritage we need to rethink and revise, but the principle of one union to one industry is not one of them. In an age of ever greater integration, the need for integration among workers and their unions has never been clearer.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass -- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
