I see that the UAW trained you well ;)

Taft Hartley prohibits a secondary boycott, which is to say that the reason we you're going on strike can only be economic not political.

You can't for example go on strike to protest the government, that's illegal under Taft Hartley.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg

Re: What if questions (4.00 / 3)

It wasn't the UAW, it was mostly chats with my office mate Toby. We were both in CASE-UAW, of course, he quickly took on the union representation in our department and I believe he ended up being a Steward for the Union. I was in the Graduate Student Government. Together we ruled the campus. Well, no. But we did have the professors in our department scared shitless. And I was a supporting witness in a dispute he had with the Campus Labour Relations.
