Dean Hubbard, excellent international labor professor, talented legal counsel for TWU Local 100, strong supporter of the Workers Unite Film Festival 2012, has a brand new blog: Restructuring the Edifice. "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar...it comes to see that an edifice that produces beggars needs restructuring." Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hi lead off posts discuss whether the official labor movement will stand behind the very active "99% Spring," planned by OWS to return the issues of all workers back to the front and center of our national discussion.

Labor has received critical and timely support from OWS forces, but this collaboration is still a work in progress.
