[lbo-talk] US army to break strike.

[www.leninology. blogspot.com]

Has anyone else seen this?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16226231/"The US Army is considering measures to force
striking workers back to their jobs at a Goodyear Tire & Rubber
plant in Kansas in the face of a looming shortage of tyres for Humvee
trucks and other military equipment used in Iraq and Afghanistan.

          "A
strike involving 17,000 members of the United Steelworkers union has
crippled 16 Goodyear plants in the US and Canada since October 5."The Bush administration has been one of the most aggressively anti-labour governments inhistory, but using the army to break a strike simply to keep tyres on Humvees in Iraq is on the one hand utterly grotesque, and on the other, an absolute gift to the antiwar movement.If I were an antiwar activist in America, I'd be taking buckets of cash down to the picketlines in Kansas.
