	Laborer-LIUNA-Dissent: Is Democracy Good for Unions?-Steve Fraser
		The labor movement s failure to form political institutions of its own (a labor or social democratic party of some description) and its inability or unwillingness to erect a system of industry-wide bargaining, have left trade unions to bear multiple burdens.
		So, for example, when it comes to the labor market, trade unions are natural monopolists prone to defend the interests and express the democratic will of their existing members by excluding others; in America that has meant (and in an alarming number of instances continues to mean) immigrants, fls, and women.
		Whatever the past machinations of Stalinists within the labor movement, it is hard to ignore the high hypocrisy that justified the government s intimidating campaign to excise them from the CIO; anticommunist affidavits and star-chamber excommunications were all about crippling the labor movement, not about saving the CIO for democracy.

		The nurses association is no latecomer to the effort to establish a national health system, as it was an initial union sponsor of the Labor Party, which has a major programmatic plank in favor of nationalized health care and has won several non-binding local referendums on the issue.
		Under the present circumstances, the establishment of a national health system would be as big a change for the nation’s workers as was the introduction of the social security system that came about when the labor movement had an improving relationship of forces, in comparison with corporate America.
		That would seem to mean that organized labor would need to conduct a fight for national health care in such a way as to increase their support from the many more workers who are not in unions.
