workers in the 1930s carried out massive sit-down strikes to win union
recognition, better pay, benefits and conditions. Then, auto workers
became a symbol of the American dream. Today, big business is carrying
out attacks on working people, and the auto workers are first on the
chopping block. With a union leadership that often refuses to fight,
workers face colossal layoffs, cuts in pay and elimination of benefits.<br><br>Brett Hoven will be discussing his experience as an auto worker, the need to
transform the labor movement and the democratic socialist alternative
to the dictatorship of big business. Join us for this important meeting!<br><br><br>Contact:<br>
