This needs to be heard.  Unions are NOT going to be the force for the 
kind of changes needed in the US or anywhere else really.  We no 
longer live in the 1920s.  I have to agree with Katha Pollit on her 
scepticism re the thnking that unions are our route to social justice 
though they can play a positive role for the workers who are members 
of particular unions.  Frankly, they've been a huge disaappointment 
as a force for social change.
