[PEN-L:1944] Re: French movement situation

["Mason A. Clark" <masonc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I gotta butt in here with a comment.

Strange as it seems it may be in support of Bill Mitchell.

The unions in France may suffer from the same problems
as those in the United States:

   1. Corruption     2.  Over-reaching

The demise of the unions in the U.S., and they are indeed
demised, came about because they earned a reputation among
both workers and employers of being run by criminals.

And being irrational in their demands, driven by the ambition
of those corrupt union leaders.

Some of them succeeded in overreaching; they gained an unfair
share for their members in particular industries.  Unfair in
relation to other workers.  Perhaps the situation in France.

The best thing for unions, and their workers, would be laws
requiring public auditing of union books and supervised
democratic elections.   I would go so far, though others would
not, of requiring all companies with more than 100 employees
to be unionized.  And not "company unions."

With such a worker's union environment maybe Bill would not need
to destroy the whole world to give it a fresh start.
