Whatever the reasons, strikes aren’t just down in the United States; they’ve been going down globally, across the industrialized world, for 20 years. Something profound has been happen- ing to workers, McCartin says, and it may be the most significant develop- ment to unions since the 19th century. The majority of U.S. workers would like to have a union, according to polls. But McCartin says they won’t act un- less the potential rewards make unions worth the risk. And the strike is labor’s ultimate weapon for getting the goods. “Without restoring workers’ ability to use the strike,” McCartin said, “it’s difficult to see how unions can be re- vived.” E E FR BARGAIN COUNTER Free ads to subscribers DEADLINE: Friday prior to publication Published 1st and 3rd Fridays Send to: NW Labor Press, PO Box 13150, Portland, OR 97213 Classified ads MUST include area code on all phone numbers or they will not be published Automotive TIRE CHAINS, new, fits 12.50 x 15-16.5, $50. 360 213-9540 ’64 MERCURY COMET Caliente, 4 dr, 289 h-performance, beautiful, strong, garaged, $7,950. 541 549-1149 (Bend) TRIUMPH, 1958 TR-3A, green w/tan inte- rior, completely restored, very good cond, photos available, $17,995. 503 754-6691 Housing ROCKAWY BEACH house, just minutes to beach, sleeps 9, 3 bd. 503 355-2136 or 503 709-6018 280 ACRES CENTRAL Oregon, small cabin, water well, secluded, 30% down, terms, $280,000. 541 468-2961 LINCOLN CITY, nice 2 level beach house, sleeps 6, $400/wk, $200/wkend. 503 351- 1408 (Chris) or 503 762-4816 (Dan) Wanted THE UNION PLUS ® MORTGAGE PROGRAM Provided Exclusively by Chase Home Finance OLD WOODWORKING tools, planes, lev- els, chisels, folding rulers, handsaws, slicks, adzes, leather tools, chests. 503 659-0009 JUNK CARS, removal of unwanted cars and pickups. 503 314-8600 RAY EYERLY prints of the Eastern Ore- gon, cash paid. 503 852-6791 INFANT CARE books, pamphlets and clothing, cheap or free; used T-111 siding.
