Ok, we are all even; it's time to stop the infighting and get going the same direction. It is going to take tremendous solidarity to confront the forces of globalization on satisfactory terms, and the profession has not put the economic system in place to do it. The unions still think you can do it by merely jawboning "unity." It won't happen. There has to be financial incentives to cause it to happen.
