From Jerry Coleman:

I am writing to express my dismay and concern over the recent events in which the South Carolina State Police treated honest hard working individuals during their union protest. Workers must have the right to organize and to have peaceful protest demonstrations against unfair labor tactics that are used by the owners of
plants, factories and corporations throughout this country.

This recent attack by the police also underscores the continuing lack of respect for life and rights of African Americans on the part of certain racist factions within our society. Racial profiling must end within the workplace as well as within the police authorities in this land. The officers and their superiors involved in the attack on the Charleston 5 workers should be brought to trial for civil rights violations.

Unfortunately, the struggle for peace and justice continues even in this a new century.

Green Party of the United States Platform:

The concepts of ECONOMIC AND WORKPLACE DEMOCRACY must be expanded in management-labor negotiations because the decisions a company makes affects its employees, its consumers, and the surrounding communities. In order to protect the legitimate interests of these various constituencies, as well as the natural environment, people in each of these groups must be empowered to participate in economic decision-making.
There should be no compromise of basic WORKER RIGHTS.
We particularly support substantive reforms toward “workplace democracy” in large corporations, especially reform that impacts socially and environmentally irresponsible big business.
We endorse legal rights to organize and join unions with democratically elected leadership.
We support the right to strike without being “permanently replaced.”
In the PUBLIC SECTOR, Greens are concerned with an employee’s right to join a union, and with associated COLLECTIVE BARGAINING rights.
