French workers take to the streets
The Herald Tribune reports on France’s general strike yesterday, with up to 2.5 million protesters in the streets across France. One irony of this demonstration is that most of the workers who walked off the job were government bureaucrats, those whose jobs are safest.
Why aren’t U.S. workers protesting in the streets? There are plenty of job losses. Sarkozy is as much a global socialist as Obama. Why is Obama getting a pass from the Left? Why are U.S. workers so passive? Globalization sent millions of manufacturing jobs overseas, and yet labor wanted to vote for Hillary Clinton! This passivity can’t just be about white male workers jumping over to the Republican party because of the Democratic party’s sell-out of the workers to feminism and multiculturalism. Do the Democrats have such great control over labor leaders that the unions are able to neuter the workers? Do workers imagine that the stimulus package is going to make them well? NWOU admits to being mystified at the passivity of Americans as first their country and now their savings and jobs are being taken away from them. Superior knowledge is invited to comment.
