Some unemployed workers are organizing to defend themselves against the unrelenting push by corporations and their government to pare back US labor costs in favor of more profits from cheaper labor overseas.
In unemployed worker groups and common security clubs across the country, participants are facing two grim realities. The first is that jobs that vanished aren’t coming back. And the second reality is that if unemployed workers don’t stand up for themselves, no one else will.The only problem I have with this article is that it assumes that only defensive, mild reform actions need be taken to defend the unemployed. Such bias reflects the liberal perspective of this website.
