This concern should be brought to the bargaining table during local negotiations. We all need to be advocates for increasing needlestick safety in the workplace for our union members. Those interested might examine the relationship our unit has developed with Kaiser Permanente here in California. I am a believer in the Green Party, and I did some work locally for Ralph Nader for President. By ignoring minority parties, you are telling members that only two political parties count.

This corporate direction has hurt labor unions. The Supreme Court, a judicial institution, became a political institution when it defined the loser of the recent Presidential election. Instead, it produced an unsigned writ that sidestepped the basic issue of voter and states rights. Like the mule, in other words, the court demonstrated barrenness in serving as the so-called impartial guardian of our social and moral values. If it continues to exercise political functions, our democracy will be slowly but surely eroded.
