Two Rivers General Membership Branch: May 2010
http://tworiversgmb.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Many of us know and like Mark Anderlik and appreciate the efforts he puts into the Central Labor Council ( and his participation at our recent May Day Event) but when the article states that only two members of Unite Here took part in the Wells Fargo demonstration you get a sense of how desperate the decline of private sector organized labor really is. We don't want "A Little Jingle"! It is time for Anderlik and Houseman and Williams to understand the historical dynamic driving unio...

Two Rivers General Membership Branch: April 2010
http://tworiversgmb.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. Mayday is not just a celebration of international workers solidarity. It is also a universally recognized signal of distress. In these times of high unemployment, huge wealth and wage disparity and general disregard for unionism, I think it fitting we incorporate both these meanings in this years event. It is also possible we may get a sighting of Sir Michael Smurfits $70 million dollar yacht as he gallantly sails by. For more info call Dave at 363 5292. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Two Rivers General Membership Branch: October 2009
http://tworiversgmb.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 6, 2009. Some might wonder at the connection between free speech and labor organizing but I don't think it is too much of a stretch to say building democratic workplaces and a democratic society are linked by the necessity of building a democratic culture. Power is afraid of free speech, it wants weak citizens willing to let others think and speak for them. Actively engaged citizens and a lively discourse are the last things Capital wants to see!

Two Rivers General Membership Branch: September 2008
http://tworiversgmb.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 14, 2008. Does the (unknown) author assume Chavez makes Castro like decisions over every aspect of economic planning or holds personal title to all these industries? The really troubling aspect of this critique, from a Wobbly point of view, is the analysis of the 2002-3 CVT (oil workers union) strike which was designed to bring down the fledgling Bolivarian Revolution and restore right wing, privitized ownership of the oil sector. This is the authors take:. Dave Jones aka troutsky.

Two Rivers General Membership Branch: February 2009
http://tworiversgmb.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 2, 2009. What Is To Be Done? The crisis of economic collapse will affect everyone but it is workers who will bear the brunt of the pain. They will be asked to work harder, to expect less, and to be patient in their misery. Many will be searching for answers as to "what went wrong? So what can workers do? Should workers support the "Stimulus Plan"? Should workers fight other workers to keep their jobs and be happy it is not THEM getting the pink slip? Dave Jones aka Troutsky. All the comm...

Two Rivers General Membership Branch: October 2008
http://tworiversgmb.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. The economic meltdown has generated responses and analysis from many positions but what do the workers have to say? Others, such as Naomi Klien, see this as a classic case of the "Shock Doctrine",a convenient disaster for increasing the neoliberal agenda, and certainly the "bailout" provisions seem to be openings for increasing control and monopoly. But what to make of recent nationalizations of banks and the increasing calls for socialization of institutions? My review of Alec ...
