Why do I have to write my posts your way?

If I think of my replies one post at a time - and I do, cause I'm 41 and I came of age before text messaging and all this modern tech stuff - why exactly can't I post like that?

Who sets these rules anyway?

Sounds pretty anal retentive to me, quite frankly!

As I wrote in that thread: Gregory, stop making a new post for every post you reply to, it's bordering on spamming.

You can use the quote tags to reply to multiple posts within one of yours.

Well, if you want to read about my views on labor, just go to http://clnews.org and check out the Gregory A. Butler archives - I go on at length about my views on contemporary American labor.

Or you could go to Amazon.com and buy my book "DISUNITED BROTHERHOODS... race, racketeering and the fall of the New York construction unions" - it's only $ 22.95 and is also a good summary of my views (since I wrote it)

I honestly don't know much about them. My union (roofer and waterproofers) is members of the afl-cio.

How do you see your role as a socialist/communist/whatever you are in the American labor movement? Are you interested in reforming, or think it to be impossible?

They are a product of the present decay of the labor movement in the USA. They have totally degenerated into the worst sort of corporatist unionism, have totally stripped democracy out of the unions in their federation (ESPECIALLY the SEIU) and, in the case of the SEIU and UNITE HERE, they have totally removed workers from labor leadership and replaced them with middle class professionals.

In short, I see C2W as an abomination against the labor movement.

What do you think?

Hi Gregory. What do you think of the Change to Win federation?
