Markin comment:
The issues here, as usual, are health benefits, safety concerns and working conditions. Wages seem to be secondary, as is generally the case theses days when companies are gutting the "extras", like health care, pensions and seniority rights, that used to be taken for granted in the old days. Victory To The Shaw's Workers!
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
