Not by themselves. But dissident unionists, especially, are key to leading the new progressive movements of the future that will change the status quo (Doug!).

Just as they were in the 1920's and '30's.

Now is not the time for easy elitist scepticism.

And "multinat'ls" are not all powerful - they still have to contend with nation-state, especiallly with the USA.

despite all the fascinating ins and outs of this particular situation, has everyone missed the overarching point that unions haven't a prayer against multi-national corps? where do people think unions will be 50 years from now?
