Hello Marv:
Here a return to an older theme we have a nuanced-ly differing view. You sa=
y:
" The combined effects of capital mobility and automation decimated the ind=
ustrial unions. The same now seems to threaten the public sector unions, wi=
th their high percentage of workers with at least some post-secondary educa=
tion. Protest activity has largely moved from concentrated action at the po=
int of production to much less threatening sporadic demonstrations in publi=
c spaces. "

The first part is correct ( =E2=80=9C The combined effects of capital mobil=
ity and automation decimated the industrial unions. =E2=80=9C ) but needs s=
upplementing. Here the old CPM and CPI unions essentially were told to dise=
ngage by thier own political eladers and the parties they were tied to. In =
many places such as West Bengal there were major divides then from the rank=
 and file - who duly went on to occupy various sites.

The second part needs much more amendment (" T he same now seems to threate=
n the public sector unions, with their high percentage of workers with at l=
east some post-secondary education =E2=80=9D).
For these are not those who have come out. Those who have come out are many=
 working ins small tech firms; and the overwhelming majority appear ot be s=
tudents who are hoping to enter such fields as computer high-tech; - amongs=
t others. All of these student layers who came out were traditionally virtu=
ally completely unorganised as far as I am aware. (Except in the high point=
s of the "Jai Hind=E2=80=9D =E2=80=9CQuit India=E2=80=9D movements of the 1=
930=E2=80=99s-40=E2=80=99s).

The farmers of Punjab that blocked the streets and all markets in Haryana w=
ere organised in both unions, temples and communities. Moreover - I think (=
I need more data on this to verify ) that many of them were relatively well=
 off farmers and owned a variable amount of land.

So at many levels this was historically quite different. The leading member=
 is a also a dalit. Very different again.
I am seeing news that clear support of Muslim comrades who were specificall=
y targeted by police *after* the acceptance by the BJP of the original dema=
nds.
