What was "the Left" supposed to do? Write supportive editorials in 
Workers Vanguard and/or The Nation? Who is this Left anyway? Does it 
include other unions and the national AFL-CIO leadership? What did 
they do?

--the left is the phantom one can blame for all problems. liberals just 
can't get enough of blaming the left. 
I myself have already apologised for not getting on a plane and walking 
with the workers for the duration of the strike. I have, as a leftist, 
completely let down the grocery workers and I hold fellow leftists in 
Minneapolis as responsible as moimeme for the failed strike effort....
