This point is what Bill and Adell are saying. The new book Why Labor Organizing should be a Civil Right is a good new book on why collective bargaining is tied to equality.
The Occupy Coalition could be called the YOU Coalition, including Young adults who are activists, Older people who are retired activists and Unions. How we pull these people together will either produce change or will miss the opportunity. Maybe bringing the jobs and economic issues to Republican districts like the Tea Party brought health care to congressional town hall meetings.
