--nope, nothing i wrote would suggest that. -------------------------------- Shit, if the union can be fined that much money, then perhaps workers need unofficial unions that are free to take risks, engage in direct action, and actually *accomplish* something for workers.
--it depends. if you're talking about unofficial unions that actually organize workshops, ok then in those instances i'd support their doing what they saw fit, but i doubt they'd get much support from workers they didn't represent if they asked them to get themselves fired in support of another strike. what would be more intelligent is to organize support committees that show up on the strike line day in and day out and organizing alternative strategies in consultation with workers on the line...
