Same energy

Not even Red Hot?

The really insidious part here is thay the authors see the means testing as an important component. You have to be clean from drugs, not psychotic, etc. To donate, so it creates pressure to abstain from drugs, risky sex, etc. Because it could jeapordize your income stream.

They are making an explicit argument for putting moral requirements on access to welfare.

Typesetters traveling job to job with their tools were incredibly important to the spread of radical ideas, between jobs they would produce radical pamphlets and newspapers.

So literally, yes, seize the photocopiers

Hey, so I want to clarify something about organizing at Kroger / Albertsons. Yes, the union buerocracy ended the strike, but the union buerocracy also organized the strike.

There aren't organic member organizing committees as these stores deciding they need to strike and then getting sold out by buerocrats, instead, the buerocracy decided a strike was in order and deployed a small army of staff to convince the workers of this fact.

Like, the state of worker to worker engagement is so bleak that even the UFCW "reform" movement is being astroturfed by a couple locals with members getting recruited and flown out to convention by staff.

There is a bigger story of betrayal, but its not the one this paper tells. Washington, California, Colorado, and Hawaii locals have been working on coordinating their contracts to increase their bargaining power (at current, each local and sometimes even each store bargains its own contract). Despite this agreement, the Washington local accepted a tentative agreement while Colorado was still out on strike! CO has no leverage without the threat of the strike expanding to WA!
