[Marxism] Stern Gang attack

[Paddy Apling]

I did not realise there was a Stern Gang in America - I had only heard of it 
as a Revisionist Zionist organisation that carried out terrorist attacks on 
theBritish Authorities and personnel during the British Mandate df the 
League of Nations - and its mleader was in the Irgun Zwai Luni which blew up 
the King David Hotel, then the British Army HQ, killing nearly 100 people, 
some of them Jewish passers-by.

> Re Joaquin's questions: Some have been answered already.
> As for the others:
> There were not hundreds in the Stern gang. There were 2 or 3 busloads, a
> mixture of staff and bamboozled rank-and-file (meaning they can be won
> over).
> The Stern Gang (through their Midwest officials) wanted to go after both 
> CNA
> and United Healthcare Workers West. That's why the conference was a
> flashpoint. CNA and UHW still have disagreements. But they are both 
> opposing
> Stern's pro-management strategy. And of course Stern will try to pit one
> against the other while attacking both.
> Regarding Joaquin's assumption that race was an issue: The UHW members in
> attendance were almost all Black. And it was a joy talking to such an
> inspired, determined, well-organized group. As for the conference as a
> whole, there was a "Black workers track," tracks being the series of
> workshops throughout the weekend (as there was for healthcare, immigrants,
> etc.). Participation was varied and encouraging, with important
> contributions from a variety of areas and struggles.
> P.S. There was, once again, a very substantial Latin@ attendance at the
> conference, who organized themselves to carry forward May 1st, anti-raid
> activities, and other immigrant worker projects.
