Wisconsin lessons for Labour

By Chris White - posted Thursday, 11 October 2012


These debates for Australian unionists and left activists are similarly pressing. Our corporate and LNP's right-wing politics with state governments are from the same Republican tactics. Abbott as PM will try on the same attacks.

Australian workers and their unions can debate the same lessons in the fight against such a class assault. The ALP political dominance over unions, 'laborism' and voting in ALP governments demands a debate to change the politics of our unions and need to develop class unionism.
