The US labor movement is in deep turmoil. The defeats in Wisconsin, Michigan and other former hotbeds of industrial unionism show that a new way is needed in leading the fight back for the organized working class.

In unions around the country, the question of who to support in the presidential elections is being hotly debated. Many union leaderships are pushing for endorsing Hillary Clinton, a known Wall Street lackey and former Wal-Mart board member, against the wishes of the rank-and-filers supporting insurrectionary candidate Bernie Sanders.

The recent decision by one of the biggest unions in the US to support Hillary, an opponent of the $15 an hour minimum wage, over Sanders, a huge $15 supporter whose biggest campaign donors are almost all from organized labor, has caused a massive uproar of discontent among the rank-and-file.

Come out and discuss with several union leaders about the need for labor to come out against support for HIllary Clinton and how union democracy can be restored to help rebuild a fighting labor movement. When we fight, we win!
