Larry Holmes: Turning Point For Low-Wage Workers

ANALYSIS: http://tinyurl.com/nrm2pfs

“…These workers laboring in the fast food industry and the Walmart workers who have courageously built the OUR Walmart movement inside the world’s largest billion-dollar corporation — who have sacrificed tremendously, suffering the brunt of both reprisals and firings — are leading the way. It is necessary for the entire union movement, the unemployed, progressive social movements, all the working class and oppressed to embrace their cause, because their movement is like the Black Lives Matter movement — the future of the working class.”

Holmes is a leader of the People’s Power Assemblies (http://peoplespowerassemblies.org/) and Workers World Party (http://www.workers.org/) first secretary.
