Andy's Stern Gang is having a convention.
And yes, the Disco Duck of organized labor
has seen fit to let his drones fix the proceedings.
This barren farce is as rigged, as stage-managed and scripted,
as any affair produced by any tinpot Issimo from here to
Boys' Town.
But is that bad per se? I mean a rigged convention.
Okay, I must admit, all the hullaballoo about bottom-up participation and rank-and-file this or membership that often does smack of stale process over novel product. But don't ya think a big time union movement that has no product worth a toot to begin with at least oughta strive for some first-class process?
Here's Steve Early making a rather tepid bid to rally some indignation
against these "union leaders"
using their "heavy handed" methods on brave progressive
insurgent groups:
As history has repeatedly shown, the rulers of “one-party states” rarely concede power gracefully or quietly. When organized opposition emerges, such regimes often resort to a strategy of disinformation and intimidation to maintain their grip on power, whether the battleground is a nation or—closer to home—a national union.
Only because he's the latest pinup in a line of rebels from within that have launched on dear Andy, here's Sal Rosselli, president of the biggest chunk of Andy's SEIU, to cry nyet, no mas, forget about it, at the purple duce's top-down "corporate" unionism.
As mentioned here before, he's still getting hustled toward the exits by the piecards, without a fists-flying convention floor showdown, worthy of any halfway decent two-fisted Popeye of a union man.

i might add
this devil's maxim
any class that can't
perminently avoid
the use of violence against them
needs to get good
at using it themselves

Op as a Union Man, and loyal veteranephew to my Uncle Sam, I have been trying to iron out a final solution to the opposition to the brotherhoods. I've thought for years that a family of brothers united would represent a potential mutiny that would harden Fletcher Christians' dick into a life raft full of titty sprinkled tahitian women. I think the spirit of spingfield had the right idea personnally. The magnitude was degenerate but Shays is synonomous w/ HERO in my King Jimmy bible! The only problem is the boomer leadership being too afraid of Pitcairne's Island. My Pappy and I have three rules:Never play cards w/ a man named after a city. Don't trust a woman w/ a tattoo of a dagger. Finally, if something don't work right and you tottally fuck it up trying to fix it, who gives a shit it wasn't working anyway. A show down is the best ingredient for punctuation, but the children of the big war have castrated American man hood. Mexicans trek for days through rough terrain w/ limited water like Ranger Battalions for any shit work they can get, admirable. Sal Rosselli might as well start mixing Kool aid. Soldier moral is solely based on leadership.
