The War On Labor, Union Solidarity And Lessons From Our Past
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0XFSBhTNa8s
Trade unionists and workers discussed the attacks on the trade unions and the labor movement and how to fight back and defend working people. A midwest conference at Champaign, Illinois on March 25, 2017 was held to bring together workers and trade unionists about the ongoing attack by politicians like Illinois governor Rauner and also the failure of the unions to mobilize to stop the union busting "right to work" agenda that is spreading throughout the United States. There are now 28 states with these anti-labor laws.
They also discussed previous strikes, lockouts and struggles like the UAW Accuride workers and UAW 9 South Bend Honeywell workers and the need to have a united workers solidarity campaign to back these workers and fight concession bargaining. Speakers included Mike Griffin, War Zone Education Foundation, Erek Slater ATU 241, Frank Hammer Autoworkers Caravan, Gus Wood AFT Graduate Employees' Organization at UI U/C, Aaron Ammons University of Illinois I/C SEIU 73 Chapter Chair, Scott Houldieson UAW 551 VP.
