e should cherish and support THE VALLEY LABOR REPORT. We know we cannot depend on corporate-owned mainstream media to speak truthfully of labor’s story and to promote a greater awareness of the fact that the only force that can redeem, renew, and advance American democratic life is the labor-union movement. And we know, as well, that even though working people want to organize and are organizing, we face fierce opposition by corporate bosses and conservative politicians, and less than wholehearted support from liberals and progressives. The folks at the Valley Labor Report are seeking to expand their efforts to not only cultivate a greater awareness of working-class campaigns and struggles past and present, but also encourage greater working-class solidarity and democratic activism. Support their aspirations and labors!
