Dan La Botz at New Politics has penned an interesting and provocative Labor Perspective, one that is informative and may be hard for some Unions, their Leaders and their Members to read.  In part, Botz writes: President Donald Trump has launched a vicious, multi-faceted attack on American Workers of all sorts and Workers are beginning to respond, but both the Working Class and the Unions are divided, making it difficult to organize and carry out a unified response. There is not yet a clear understanding in the Labor Unions and much less in the Working Class as a whole that Trump represents a new and different threat or Authoritarianism tending toward Fascism that must be resisted at all costs and whose defeat will require a united Workers Movement with a clear alternative vision of labor and politics. Leftist Labor Activists have a long way to go in organizing Rank-and-File Workers and in raising the idea of Workers’ power and Democratic Socialism as the needed alternative. We will only arrive at that point after a long period of social and political battles with the Capitalist Class and the State.
