Ask him whether he is serious about the proposition that labor unions are outmoded. Who will stand up for the workers in a collective way against the power of the multinational capitalis he so eloquently describes, if not unions? Does he really think that there is no basic conflict of interest between workers and capitalists that requires independent working class organization on the workers' side? Also ask him why the Clinton administration abandoned the no-permanent striker replacement policy, pushed through NAFTA and GATT, and has generally sided with the employers against the employees. Does he think that the record on GATT and NAFTA in terms of job creation on either side of the US borders has born out the fine predictions the administration made? If not, what are they going to do about in a second term? Finally ask him what reason working class people have to vote Democratic if all they look forward too is more of the same sort of stuff the GOP already offers. --Justin Schwartz On Mon, 22 Jan 1996, Richard Ira Lavine wrote: > I thought maybe this list would have some ideas...... > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Mon, 22 Jan 1996 13:16:20 -0900 > From: C.
