in the congress or senate. The problem now is that many of the tactics workers have used in the past to secure their rights is now somehow connected to terrorism and can get people shipped to gitmo or worse. It will take massive organization, loyalty to one another, and the courage to take back everything that's been lost. Think huge numbers of people in the streets, volunteer soup lines, and strategic and tactical teams made up of experienced labor organizers (ILWU is probably the most effective currently), sympathetic legal counsel, and negotiators to change the system. In my opinion, workers need to flex their muscles; the congress and senate are composed mostly of the rich and, more often than not, are incapable of understanding the plight of the working person.
