Robert Scheer on the Economic Crisis

Will Unions Respond to Economic Crisis?

• Unions have lost their competitiveness in the global economy.
• Workers have maintained their consumption, but not their jobs.
• Tax cuts mostly go to debt servicing.
• American workers have lost their security.
• World economy dependent on what happens in the U.S.
• Absence of militancy promotes little change (thank you Ronald).
• U.S. can’t compensate with sales to the Chinese working class. That is not happening.
