2. Rights To Organize
Progressive Agenda: “Reform the National Labor Relations Act, to enhance workers’ right to organize and rebuild the middle class”
CPUSA: “One of the most crucial ways of increasing the strength and unity of the working class as a whole is organizing the unorganized…..Speeding up the organization of unorganized workers is one of the most important challenges to labor and all progressive forces…..Organizing the unorganized by itself, however, is not sufficient continuing [sic] to win unions and their memberships to class struggle trade unionism and to broad trade union unity are also required.”
SPUSA: “The Socialist Party stands for the right of all workers to organize, for worker control of industry through the democratic organization of the workplace, for the social ownership of the means of production and distribution, and for international solidarity among working people based on common opposition to global capitalism and imperialism…..We support the right of any number of interested workers in a workplace to form a union with no limits on the subjects upon which employees and unions may bargain with employers….We call for the repeal of….all so-called “right-to-work” laws.”
