U.S. Labor Must Choose Between Occupy and the Democrats

Though the mass actions of the Occupy Movement have done more to change the political climate than the millions who voted for Obama, most of Labor's entrenched leadership remain attached to the Democrats in an illusory attempt to have a national voice...In practice this means that labor ignores the pro-corporate policies of Democratic politicians while unions water down their demands to make them compatible with the positions of Democrats. Occupy won't stand for this, or even listen to it.
