Our Cadres at work: Change to Win collapse

Within days, it will be announced that UNITE HERE has been broken up. There will be the unions Workers UNITE! and HERE 1. The dissolution of Change to Win will come, and some unions will merge into SEIU, a union that has itself cut 40% of its paid staff. 

We had sent our cadres inside some time ago, largely a legion of silver spoon-fed elite university graduates with little work experience, to weaken these union internationals through low morale, corporate strategies, anonymous diatribes against those same corporate strategies, and the loss of rank and file leadership. By the middle of last year, it was evident that the fruits of their damage might be born out in the cracks of the merger between the UNITE! and HERE internationals.

We had also thrown our cadres in SEIU and CNA-NNOC into full-on combat. It was the CP(F) that orchestrated the union raids, decertification drives, and the attack on the Labor Notes conference the year before. Even by proudly confessing to this now, we spread the flames of red-baiting and anti-marxist purges that will quietly take place.

But best of all is the chaos of this year. The Transport and Auto Workers unions conspire to organize industries strongly held by HERE, the old guard leadership of the merged unions are in civil war, SEIU is raiding and trying to swallow whole locals, whole internationals. 

All of this makes our inspirational and fearless General Secretary-Chairman feel a bit like an Emperor Palpatine.  Soon union rebellion against the AFL-CIO will be crushed, and the labor movement's growth in some sectors will fade to dust. And then, with one fell swoop the CP(F) can enter and have an entire nation of unorganized workers to organize into our mass labor organizations. 

Change to Win? I beg of thee, Losers never Win.
