It is a violation of the Constitution and Labor Relations Law to tell workers how to vote, either in union elections or in political campaigns. Of course, many workers who know the anti-labor record of the companies they work for are suspicious when their bosses suddenly go on a media campaign against Duke. The way they're talking now, you would think the gas and oil would evaporate and the Mississippi River dry up if Duke's elected. However, these bosses might just as quickly change their minds the day after the election and embrace Duke in the same way the German industrialists and bankers supported Hitler. Whatever their motives may be, it has nothing to do with our own interests as workers.
Every worker ought to question their motivation.
It has always been how to get profit out of their enterprises by taking our labor and giving us in return as little as possible. So let's not speculate on what their motives may be. Let's examine David Duke independently of what they say and consider his candidacy from the point of view of our class interests as workers. David Duke has been a state representative long enough that he should have been able to clearly and simply address the burning issues facing Louisiana. Yet he has introduced no bill, made no speeches, nor raised as much as a whisper in connection with these very profound issues.
