Do you think unions have gotten to be very crazy lately?

No, you are out of touch. The large unions like the UAW have given up tons of benefits with their last four contracts, over the past decade. They've gotten nothing new. They've taken wage cuts, given up overtime pay, given up pensions rights for new hire-ins, given up some health care benefits and so on.

This is our Program

For the expropriation of the banks without compensation and under workers control

Sacking of workers and destruction of jobs have to been forbidden; occupations of the sites of work that close, opening of the books to workers control, for expropriation of the big companies, without compensation under workers control.

For immediate increases of wages and salaries, for a sliding scale of wages and working hours; less work, work for all! Full wages for the unemployed! Full equality for immigrant and native workers!

Down with the capitalist governments! No to class collaboration or participation in managing the crisis together with the representatives of capital, for workers power- the dictatorship of the proletariat- and a socialist way out from the crisis!

When they were run by the mafai they werent so outrageous. Now they are run by more left wingers. Not good.

Lately?!?!

The last 30 years maybe?

THEY SERVED THEIR PURPOSE WHEN WORKERS HAD TO SUFFER INJURY & DEATH IN THE WORKPLACE

WHEN WORKERS HAD WAGES THEY COULDN'T LIVE OFF OF

BUT LATER, THE UNIONS HAD TO ASK FOR MORE, TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTENCE & THEY WENT TOO FAR
