----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Brown" <cbrown at michiganlegal.org> -CB: I'm a little confused. Since the Reuther takeover of the UAW, the red -purges of 55 years ago, the labor movement has _not_ been engaged in class -struggle unionism. What's outdated , or at least proven an enormous failure, -is class collaboration unionism ( partnership with the employers). So, what -is he talking about ? What is needed is to bring _back_ class struggle -unionism.

So are you against card check agreements to bypass the NLRB system?

Any card check requires some degree of agreement with the employer - class collaboration if you will - so are they forbidden for class struggle unionists?

Or what kinds of "class collaboration" do you want to eliminate that you think folks like Andy Stern are continuing to engage in?
