(503-231-8187) "Workers
need unions more than ever. Globalization, the concentration of
corporate power, and the rightward shift in the political climate mean
that individual workers have no influence over their wages and working
conditions unless they act in groups, preferably large groups. In the
workplace and in politics, unions are the one mechanism existing today
that enables large numbers of workers to speak in one voice."
~~Leslie Frane All of our
guests look forward to taking calls from brothers and sisters who are
listening. We will have a lively
discussion of union perspectives, creative ideas, and critical choices for November 7! Click
