Trumka: Working-Class Anger Fueled by Right’s ‘Deeply Dishonest’ Message
The disturbing part about this AFL-CIO discussion is the Marxist tone of their views, and anti-capitalist stance. There is nothing wrong with labor unions, when they stick to the context of doing their job of handling disputes and ensuring safe and fair working conditions. The problem is most of that was already been solved and enacted. Apparently the people who run these labor unions now apply the resources of union dues to support leadership who clearly want to implement a Marxist agenda. The problem is they see fairness when everyone is equally miserable under a repressive government and labor union structure. In their push to seize power, the only one who benefits from such schemes are those in charge of the labor unions and the corrupt big government they work with.
"we need to fundamentally restructure our economy and re-establish popular control over the private corporations which have distorted our economy and hijacked our government. That’s a long-term job, but one we should start now."
