Not only will organized labor and the progressive movement be around long after high oil prices puts Wal-Mart in chapter 11 but we brough you the weekend bitch! </p> http://seattlest.com/2007/01/03/starbucks_vs_the_wobblies.php#comment-874038 http://seattlest.com/2007/01/03/starbucks_vs_the_wobblies.php#comment-874038 Comments Wed, 03 Jan 2007 15:49:33 -0800 <p>You're right. I was shooting for flippant and achieved dead wrong. Organized labor is alive and important to a lot of people and many of those people work at the harbor. What I meant to say is that the kind of jobs that have been traditionally associated with organized labor continue to go overseas or otherwise disappear. Meanwhile, the jobs that have been replacing those formerly heavily-unionized sectors exist mainly in the service industry which hasn't been unionized to the extent that, say, manufacturing was in the past.</p> http://seattlest.com/2007/01/03/starbucks_vs_the_wobblies.php#comment-873893 http://seattlest.com/2007/01/03/starbucks_vs_the_wobblies.php#comment-873893 Comments Wed, 03 Jan 2007 15:23:21 -0800 <p>Organized labor is dead?
