To look at what an orchestrated attack on labour unions is in process now.. you only have to look at yesterday's vote in Michigan on the deceptively titled 'Right to Work' legislation.. which is aimed at destroying the Union movement.. this in a state where the movement prevailed and established itself in the bitter organizing movements in the auto industry at the during the first part of the 20th Century.
The vote was forced through by a lame duck legislature.. since it would be unlikely to prevail once the new session started. It was something that the Governor and no one else ran on as part of their platform.. so it was foisted on the state without a fair hearing or public debate... in fact NO hearings.. at ALL.
These are tactics of the 'New Right'.. run with money from people like the Koch brothers, libertarian (Tea Party) and commercial interests.. who have no interest but to destroy all impediments supercharging profits by exploiting and disenfranchising workers. The Unions for all of their faults.. were in fact the only counter balance left to commercial and libertarian political agency.. and it is being systematically destroyed.
This 'New Right' or 'neoconservatives'.. have nothing to do with real conservatism.. they are malignant and power debauched cabal.. NOT interested in democracy or equity.. or anything but their own grandizement.
And you would be foolish not see that such a fawning puppet of the Global Investment Organism as Harper, lacking any integrity or vision.. without any sense of nationalism or of a fair distribution of wealth.. is not fully compliant in methodically destroying Unions in Canada.. at the behest of his masters. And like his brethren in the States.. he never battles openly and bravely in public.. but uses sordid tricks to implement his dirty work.
