What a load of bull in the post above. You clearly learnt nothing from history - Green anarchist refused to support printworkers in the 1980s, and you are repeating the same mistakes now.

With peak oil and other economic and environmental issues on their way to giving the western world a good slap in the face, things like rights and wrongs of the Peugoet strike are red herrings. The issue will be resolved when we run out of oil. This is a distraction when we should be organising for the day (in our life time) when our dependence on fossil fuels finally comes to a head.

Great, lets have strong unions, but one run by the people of the union, but those sucked into the system for they will always be coopted and the true needs of the workers ignored.

Economic change is on its way, and it is going to hurt.
