First. as far as the activity of the class. Um, well it always goes up and down. If
you have been a trade unionist as long as I have one clearly sees that at times it can
go quite a long time before something comes up which is important enough for the broad
layers to get involved in. But sooner or later it always does and the first place a
worker usually turns is to his union.
However, the answer to being a union organizer is more complicated. Being and
organizer in a union without being linked to a party in the long run is utopian. So
the question is which party, which program, and which tactics one uses as a platform
for your union work.
Because sooner or later it all comes down to who is leading what where.
