Labor’s color line

From The Black Commentator:

Even as unions struggle to respond to forces bent on their annihilation, they remain deformed by racism — the same plague that has crippled the U.S. labor movement at every stage in its history. Black workers, the most enthusiastic “joiners” and activists, also face the most dire consequences of labor’s historical weaknesses. Yet, too often, their white comrades — including those who proudly consider themselves “progressives” — seek “solutions” to labor’s problems at Black workers’ institutional expense.
