The trade union movement, community and women's groups should throw themselves into a WalMart organising drive - best way to teach those bastards a lesson.

Here is an initial news story from CBC Montréal (Radio-Canada is running pretty much the same story): http://Montreal.cbc.ca/regional/servlet/View?filename=qc-walmart20050429

I haven't received any communiqués from the trade union movement here but I'll pass them along as soon as I do.

Think about it. A form of working class organization has been made into the barely veiled open target of the bourgeoisie. Nothing could be clearer. The leading retailer in all of the world decides to make war, disdaining even the window-dressing of bourgeois law, on a form of organization as closely connected to the working class as branches of industry are to its bourgeois captains. The bottom line is this, to use a metaphor of bourgeois origin: if the other side is conducting open warfare on the very forms of organization for working people, why is it not time for working people to conduct open warfare in reply? What does it take?

A good working class issue would go a long way towards making the results of the next election, whenever it comes, as progressive as possible.
