With Donald Trump coming out in
favour of Luddism, I’m reminded of the potentially negative role labour organisation can play; the temporary protection of existing worker’s benefits, coming at the expense of future, more devastating disruption. The US Longshoremen should take a closer look at the
workers in the VW factories which are about to be shut down. The problem may be the structure of relations, which inevitably pits employer vs employee.
So what if you were always both?
