: Since you are a Green please tell me what you think of this website
: and tell me how effective corporate propaganda can be on the
: environmental movement. This union says they are democratic. I have
: reasons to doubt that. Especially with this green-baiting.

I also looked at the website and thought that it highlighted the problems with unions in general. Unions (and in particular union bosses)have their own agenda and rely upon the continuation of capitalism for survival. Although they ensure better conditions for workers, they are dependent on managing workers and seperating them. I personally would like to see debate on the role of unions here and to see other peoples opinions, since such powerful organisations are rarely mentioned in general debates on capitalism.
