“I.L.W.U” Longshore Guiding Principles, & Election
CORPORATIONS ARE GLOBAL, in CHINA, VIETNAM,
MEXICO, EUROPE. UNIONS NEED TO JOIN TOGETHER in “SECTORS”
TO BARGAIN FAIRLY WITH THESE WORLD-DOMINATING CORPORATIONS.
From the original I.L.W.U. LONGSHORE 10 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
No. VI The days are long gone when a union can consider dealing with single employers. The powerful
financial interests of the country are bound together in every conceivable type of united organization to
promote their own welfare and to resist the demands of labor. Labor can no more win with the ancient
weapons of taking on a single employer in industry any more than it can hope to win through the worn-
out dream of withholding its skill until an employer sues for peace. The employers of this country are part
of a well-organized, carefully coordinated, effective fighting machine. They can be met only on equal
terms, which requires industry-wide bargaining , & extensive economic strength of organized labor.
