I agree with Mark Patinkin's suggestion in his column today
that the quality of INTELLIGENCE is not incompatible with unionism .
However, I would hesitate to suggest that hundreds of striking
nurses at Women & Infants are lacking in in this quality.
Labor professor, Scott Molloy, made an ass of himself when he
said : " Like who cares about 200 Archie Bunkers out on a picket line ? "
( Jan 17, Providence Sunday Journal -page A 24 )
I hope that crack does not sum up Molloy's attitude toward the
vast majority of blue collar unionized workers -who are NOT hateful,
reactionary bigots. Did he see his unionized bus drivers as Archie Bunker
types ?
Perhaps one John L.Lewis is worth 1000 phony labor professors.
After reading Molloy's " Archie Bunker " garbage, I might even prefer
a REAL Jimmy Hoffa !
Say hi to the URI JANITORS for me, Scott .
