unions & students

[Doug Henwood]

In an email reaction to Liza Featherstone's and my Lingua Franca 
piece, a prominent student anti-sweatshop activist pointed out "the 
complete absence of discussion on the role of American unions in 
building the student movement." This is an important point that I 
keep forgetting, and despite the occasional union-bashing I do (hi 
Nathan!), this is something that UNITE and others deserve a lot of 
credit for.
