Many govenors were around waiting like ladies in waiting, for the King to die.......CFR Govenors took over the Democrat Party in Ohio and in other states, pushed for the AFSCME AFL CIO Union take over State Civil Service (which was contrary to law in Ohio for Consitution set up Civil Service)....... Now this AFSCME bunch was taken over in the 60 period by Jerry Wurf - a man whom my old boss said he and Jock Yablotski (who would be later murdered in his bed, his wife and daughter were murdered too) took on before in the Union - stating they were communists? But this bunch sold out the Unions, and the Democrat party comes up with a guy who looked like Eddy Cantor for presidential Timber - Mike Dukakis - whose sister was of course, a movie star - this movie star connection - why even that Monday had daughter who was movie star? This inter marriage between Hollywood and Democrat Party - so there is no democrat party but the Republican party is turning into a party for all people, rich and poor. Now Clinton pardoned that bastard traitor treasonous Marc Rich - who wants to get his big foot back into USA - so he sends out his ex floosie wife who is indeed a predator but without her bank account, would be just another prostitute type from Soho.....but this woman goes after the President who isn't exactly hard to get - but it was the big bucks which prove to be her fatal attraction. I remembr when the head Hog Henry Kissinger was dating Jill St. John and the Hollywood crowd was moving in on the government - paid stooges......But Richie Rich, this pig at the trough - see what the steelworkers did to this pig, the one Clinton pardoned. And then consider what remains unsaid? Saba See Marc Rich connection here to attempt to break the unio and destroy the steelworkers - then consider President Bush is attempting to help the steel industry.......see Marc Rich as a Union Buster - meanwhile other Union brass were bought up by CFR into which they were invited......AFSCME, of the AFL CIA was one of first to join this bunch - but not Walter Reuther or Jimmy Hoffa and see what happened to them? So some think Clinton is a Democrat? Clinton is just another pig at same trough feeding on the poor with Kissinger and treasonous bastrds like Marc Rich - but then was Rich akak Reich ever an American Citizen an did he really do big time drug running in his private plane? Fall, 1996 Fighting the Union-busters Wheeling-Pittsburgh union-busting backfired The Steelworkers have triumphed in many bitter struggles with union-busting companies. When they refused to swallow huge wage cuts and the shredding of their union contract by Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel in 1985, the company locked the doors and kept 8,600 members from returning to work. With help from other unionists in Pennsylvania and Ohio during the 98-day struggle, they not only won a fair contract but forced out the company president and four members of the board of directors. Ravenswood workers and their supportes celebrate victory. Epic struggles in basic steel If you were around in 1959, you remember the industry-wide steel strike, triggered when the companies tried to seize the power to cut work crews. Workers stayed out 116 days, even though Steelworkers at that time didn't even have a strike fund, until an injunction forced them back for an 80-day cooling off period. They continued the fight on the job until the companies caved in and signed a good contract. Years later, in 1986, USX tried to slash wages and benefits and contract out union jobs, and locked out 22,000 Steelworkers, who now had a strong strike fund. It took them 184 days, but they won a strong contract that brought several thousand laid-off members back to work. Company president fired In 1993 National Steel tried to break the union at its Pellet Company on Minnesota's Iron Range during a strike. The union traveled to Japan to convince the parent company that the management team was endangering the company. Within a year the company president and his buddies were fired, the plant was reopened, and union members had won a new contract. Union tracks down Ravenswood owner Ravenswood Aluminum Corp. locked out 1,700 experienced Steel Workers in 1990, demanded a union-busting contract, circled the plant with barbed wire, and brought 1300 scabs into its West Virginia plant. Many UAW members joined caravans to offer support. For 20 long months locked-out workers picketed while the union mounted a worldwide campaign to chase down fugitive company owner Marc Rich, who was running from a 51-count indictment for things like tax fraud and trading with the enemy. They found him in a Swiss hideout. The company finally fired its president and the scabs, and signed a strong union contract with hefty raises. USWA fought imports In the 1980s, both the Steelworkers and the UAW were clobbered by the severe recession stemming from the high-interest-rate, free-trade and cheap-import policies of former President Reagan. Both unions lobbied Congress and the president and pressured companies for an end to these anti-worker policies. Photo: Visual Perceptions, Inc./UAW-LUPA Return to What is USWA?
