California workers are under attack. Gray Davis has cut the wages and benefits of tens of thousands of public workers and the response to the Republicans by the Democrats is to attack education, housing, healthcare and social services.
Working people need a political alternative to the corporate controlled Democrats and Republicans and that means that we need democratic unions where the rank and file control their political funds and have a vote on where these funds are spent.
We also need a democratic trade union movement with the principle of one person, one vote and the direct election of all the officers from business agents and all local officers to all international officials and the leadership of the AFL-CIO.
Our union leadership is in bed with the Democratic party and this is an albatross on our ability to fight back and defend our unions. Join rank and file unionists from many unions inside the AFL-CIO and outside, when we discuss and plan to to go on the offensive to defend our unions, our rights and our lives. All workers are welcome to participate.

The web site for the New Labor Fightback conference is
now up!

This site contains information on the September 21
conference and the Labor Forum that evening.

In addition, we have started a Yahoo Group for the

want to promote a political presence of the Peace and
Freedom Party in the working class.

Each of you will be invited to join the Yahoo Group.
