[lbo-talk] unions and member education

[lasko]

There's a lot worthy of unpacking in that.

But, briefly and incompletely, 15 years ago a college-educated member 
would in most cases have the potential to be a local nuisance to the 
local union; the internet has delocalized the nuisance and transformed 
it into a "global" threat?

Concurrently, the internet has disintermediated the university in favor 
of a more direct, individualized and propagandistic "teaching" mode free 
of scholarly constraints.
