unions

Join the City Heights Branch of the International Socialist Organization in our discussion of the 1970 wildcat strike by U.S. postal workers.

Join us for a discussion about the role of socialists in union struggles, both past and present.  What is the role of unions in building a working-class movement and how should Marxists connect with them?

In an age when the unions' claim to fame is their role in helping a war monger become president, it's difficult to conceive of a time when unions were an essential part of militant working class struggle. The occupation of the Wisconsin capital building has given us a glimpse of what unions once were and what they have the potential to be once again. How do we rebuild the union movement so it has the confidence and ideology to beat back the right wing attacks on working class living standards? Join the discussion as we discuss the hidden and inspiring history of the US working class.
