Socialism 2018
Working people and radicals across the United States have been inspired by the recent teachers' rebellions. Now it's critical to draw out their political and strategic lessons. Some of the questions that this panel will address include: What was the role of socialists in the strikes? How did the rank-and-file relate to the unions and their leaderships? What can activists learn from these experiences concerning how to organize under "right-to-work" laws? And what are the obstacles and opportunities for keeping up momentum in West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Arizona and spreading the resistance to "blue states"?
