Chomsky “The WAR on Workers”
Wages were Flat 1970-1980, but Down since 1980. CLASS WAR on the UNIONS and the WORKERS has been un-
relentless. Growth is Way Up. Profits are sky high. Wages are diving. This is the Class War.

HISTORY of LABOR UNIONS
President Franklin D. Roosevelt from New Deal to Now by Boilermakers Local 697
VIDEO
The first Strategy for Labor was the IWW Strategy. It called for organizing the unorganized Industrial Workers into One Big Union (O.B.U .). Big Bill Haywood, Joe Hill, and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn led the IWW from 1905 until their demise and arrest during the infamous Attorney General Palmer Raids (1914-1920). The IWW organized the courageous 1912 Lawrence (Mass.) Weavers strike, the Patterson (NJ) women Silk workers strike, and dozens of Mining and Longshore strikes throughout California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah and Idaho. IWW leaders avoided Politicians and Elections like the plague. Their motto “Organize”. Another motto of the IWW, “An Injury to One is an Injury to All.” (Also motto of the ILWU. International Longshore and Warehouse Union .)
The heir descendant of the heroic IWW was our own CIO, the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

No. 2 STRATEGY of LABOR (Eternal Hope of Elections)
The second strategy called for Labor to fight for Socialism inside Local and National Elections. The election circus sapped progressive energies.
Eugene V. Debs was the Socialist Party candidate for President in 1900, 1904, 1908, 1912, and 1920. Debs was also President of the Railroad Firemen’s union ARU . Side by side with the Socialists, was the Populist Party. William Jennings Bryant was the Democrat-Populist “fusion” candidate for President in 1896. Theodore Roosevelt was a Populist Republican V.P. When pro-Wall Street Bank President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist , “Trust-buster” Teddy Roosevelt became our first populist President.

Also Eugene Debs was Pres. of the American Socialist Party
