>Lacny's epithets are justified this time. I wouldn't respect a picket line of workers striking to protest the hiring of black people (and there have been such strikes in American history) or a picket line of police. But any line thrown up in the course of ordinary union-employer struggle should be respected without regard to opinions on the wisdom of union tactics or leadership. Anyone who doesn't know this has no claim to the title of leftist or progressive. Civility shouldn't be extended to strikebreakers.
