Working Class Fightback
The financial crisis has certainly brought on a deepening worldwide slump, with growing mass unemployment and impoverishment. There is also a crisis of working class institutions, in particular the union movement. How can the working class build unity within its ranks and rebuild our capacity to fight back?
One thing we can do, is to learn from the experiences of working people during the 1930s, who organized a series of mass fightbacksand built new institutions, such as industrial unions.
