Workers at General Electric (GE) are on strike, and already, in Louisville, Kentucky, one of the brutal racist thugs and goons known as "police officers" has killed a picketer by running her over with his car. Michelle Rogers was a single mother in her 40's with three teenage daughters. The police claim it was an accident, but I strongly suspect it was deliberate MURDER. They are withholding the name of the pig, which shows they have something to hide. The attack on the working class in America has intensified to the point where the government is now MURDERING striking workers.
The role of the capitalist state as an organ of class domination of the working class and the poor by the rich has never been more clearly revealed than now. Last week, a bankruptcy judge imposed a 14% pay cut on 35,000 mechanics at United Airlines. Encouraged by Bush's union busting (against the longshoremen and federal employees), a "growing number of US corporations are moving to tear up union contracts, impose wage cuts and slash jobs."
