01/04/08- YO YO Economics Will Destroy The American Dream!
Yo Yo "You're On Your Own" economics describe the philosophy of those who want to destroy collective bargaining representation and promote a hyper-individualism. For 87% of all workers and 92% of private sector workers, this is a reality. Those workers do not have collective bargaining representation to promote their interests. In a capitalist society, that means that the people who most need solidarity, lack it. Download a new report from the CWA Research Department from December 2007 that provides valuable information on the current Collective Bargaining Climate as CWA and IBEW prepare for negotiations with at$t Corp in 2009. Take the time to read this informative report and then share your personal views with us by e-mailing CWA Local 4250 Secretary-Treasurer, Liz Van Der Woude, ABOVE.
