Merci beaucoup.
I know our global warming issue is an emergency but my hunch is that we will never adequately address it until we address inequality first, and rid ourselves of rich governments governing basically only for the rich, like in Canada.
It is obvious to me that unionization brings lower-class families into the middle class, which is where a lot of progressive ideas originate, so why in the world would we attack unions here on this board.
I've been thinking a great deal about why, if the NDP is supposedly on the side of every-day people,.....
Were they really though? From my admittedly shallow knowledge of their history they have always been union centric.
Unions are made up of everyday people, despite decades of right-wing propaganda to drive a wedge between them and the unorganized working class. The only difference is that union members are everyday people who are paid something closer to what they're worth.
