Interview with Mike Harris, WSA Corr. Secty. |
Submitted by: Syndicalist / 16 Jan 2011
Publisher: W.S.A.
|
|
Mike Harris is a founding member of the WSA and one of its predecessor organization, the Libertarian Workers Group, from New York. Following the WSA Continental Conference last May (see report "Workers Solidarity Alliance Holds Continental Conference" on the ideas & action website), we approached him for an interview, as a founding member, a long-standing anarchist militant and as the current corresponding secretary for the WSA. We began by asking about the conference, and took off from there discussing the anarchist movement, the labor movement, and some historical comparisons between today and the period around when the WSA was founded. |

Sometimes We Don't Even Get to the Point of Losing... |
Submitted by: Syndicalist / 24 Oct 2010
Publisher: Libcom
|
|
Reading "The American Worker" and old Italian operaismo surveys of auto workers, it occurred to me that it would be worth documenting some of my own experiences in wage labor. We often forget how powerful and important first person accounts of what happens to us are. This will be the first in a series of articles on various places I have worked. |

Review: International Socialist Review on “Contemporary Anarchism” |
Submitted by: Syndicalist / 31 Aug 2010
Publisher: Workers Solidarity Alliance
|
|
The word "anarchism" is a rather vague word that covers such a wide variety of political views and approaches it is often hard to see how they have anything in common. This means it is also probably not very productive to produce "critiques" of anarchism that lump the many different viewpoints together. This problem is on display in the most recent critique of "contemporary anarchism" offered up by the International Socialist Organization in their magazine ISR (("Contemporary Anarchism," July-August 2010, p. 38)). A weakness of the article is that it offers only brief pit stops at the various anarchist or libertarian socialist tendencies. |

25th Anniversary of the Hormel Strike |
Submitted by: Syndicalist / 31 Aug 2010
Publisher: Workers Solidarity Alliance
|
Some 25 years ago, the workers at the Austin, Minnesota plant of the Hormel Corp. embarked on a long and brave fight. A fight which was not only right but fought “from below”. This fight and the rank-and-file efforts to wage and control the struggle captivated the attention of all militant workers.
In the Workers Solidarity Alliance’s print version of ideas & action Steve Boyce, Jake Edwards and Tom Wetzel penned an excellent, article, “Slaughterhouse Fight: A Look at the Hormel Strike” In recognition of the 25th Anniversary of the struggle.

Alter Schwede |
Submitted by: Felix / 23 Jul 2010
Publisher: Jungle World
|
|
Die syndikalistische SAC in Schweden wird 100 Jahre alt und wirkt dabei keineswegs antiquiert. Nach einigen Strukturreformen und einer Rückbesinnung auf ihre revolutionären Wurzeln spürt sie deutlichen Aufwind. Ein Besuch bei den Syndikalisten aus dem hohen Norden. |
