[lbo-talk] Peter Fay on Bob Fitch

[Wojtek S]

Michael: "However, even if we suppose that Bob sometimes overstated
his position,
the thrust of his argument is correct.  The US labor movement has
historically been shot through will all sorts of corruption."

[WS:] My reading is a bit different, the main thrust of his argument
is that US labor movement pursued particularistic goals of benefiting
certain segments of the working class instead of a universalistic goal
of benefiting the working class as a whole.  Corruption was just a
corollary which overshadowed the main thrust.
