MJS:

I wonder: is it fair to say that US unions are so hamstrung by legal restrictions that a legal labor movement is guaranteed to be ineffectual? That was certainly the intent of the law. If the law has been successful... don't we need an illegal labor movement?

op:

right exactly so


we need both legal and non legal organizing and organizations
